Dancing at Lughnasa

A profound, luminous masterpiece by one of Ireland´s greatest playwrights. It is 1936 and harvest time in County Donegal. In a house just outside the village of Ballybeg live the five adult Mundy sisters; their older brother, a missionary priest returned from Uganda; and the youngest sister´s seven-year-old son,Michael. Over the course of two days in the family´s life, Brian Friel evokes not only the interior world of a group of human beings trapped in their domestic situation, but the wider landscape - public and private, Christian and pagan- of which they are nonetheless a part.´There is no doubting we are in the thrall of as masterly a dramatist as the theatre possesses.´
