Their most documented excursion to Belmullet was in 1905 on commission from the Manchester Guardian. Their brief on this occasion was to report on distress in the most outlying and poverty stricken districts of Connemara and Erris. On their shared journey, they captured their surroundings in both writing and illustration. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>During this time in Erris, Synge was inspired to base two of his plays in the district, most notably his controversial masterpiece,\u2019 The Playboy of the Western World&#8217;.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>We propose to create a public exhibition of the work of the two artists in vacant shop fronts around the town.
