To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is funny because it so neatly and wittily and lovingly hits off the foibles WHAT IS A GOOD PLAY? 297 of the Scotch character and manners. The story of the play alone would not make it a popular suc- cess, nor a critical. Indeed, it is rather a simple, obvious and old-fashioned story. But the char- acters are all odd, humorous and interesting. We delight to watch Bunty manage the whole commun- munity. We delight in the quaint accent and idiom, in the quaint costumes, in the flavor and at- mos...phere of the story. Here is a case where mere academic structure counts for far less than the em- broidery. Yet any critic who is not a hidebound formalist is bound to call it a good play, because it does rouse our interest and our mirth, it creates its mood and lets us see into the life of a Scotch village ; it does, in short, what it sets out to do. It is truthful and it is funny. There is nothing funny about "Riders to the Sea. " That solemn, heart-searching little master- piece is almost Greek in its tragic simplicity.
