Dancing At Lughnasa by Brian Friel

Set in rural Ireland, Friel’s memory play depicts the lives of the five women who raised him, his mother and four maiden aunts. In the late summer days of 1936, love still seems possible for the Mundy sisters. The appearances of his wandering father, missionary uncle, and the family’s first radio serve as the small events from which spring the cracks that destroy the foundation of the family forever. A haunting tribute to the spirit and valor of the past.
