A vivid and life affirming portrait of the loss of love and opportunity played out against the echoes of the twentieth century, with a dark humour, raw energy and tenderness.

Written by Brian Friel, Ireland's most prolific and distinguished living playwright, author of Aristocrats, Molly Sweeney, Philadelphia Here I Come, Faith Healer, The Home Place and Translations.

Set in a cottage in the remote Irish village of Ballybeg, the play opens in 1936 where the five Mundy sisters live a simple life in the shadow of the hills of Donegal with their recently returned brother Jack, a missionary priest, seven year old Michael and a wireless set called ‘Marconi’.   Years later the grown up Michael looks back at that fateful summer when the knock of change finally caught up the Mundy family.

Premiered in 1990, Dancing At Lughnasa has previously been produced in the West End and on Broadway, winning an Olivier Award and three Tony Awards it has also been made into an award winning film starring Meryl Streep and Michael Gambon.
