The Tinker's Wedding is a two-act play by the Irish playwright J. M. Synge, whose main characters are Irish Tinkers. This absurd play follows an Irish wedding in which Sarah Casey convinces Michael Byrne to marry her after purchasing a local priest's services with ten shillings and a tin can. Excerpt: "We should not go to the theatre as we go to a chemist's, or a dram-shop, but as we go to a dinner, where the food we need is taken with pleasure and excitement."
