| Description: Dancing at Lughnasa is a Tony Award-winning play by Brian Friel, set in rural County Donegal, Ireland, in the summer of 1936, focusing on the lives of five unmarried Mundy sisters and their family. Told through the memory of the adult Michael Evans, the play explores themes of love, hardship, memory, and change as the sisters' quiet lives are disrupted by the return of their missionary brother, Jack, and the appearance of Michael's charming but unreliable father, Gerry. It's a poignant and celebratory look at family, tradition, and the encroaching modern world, culminating in a symbolic dance during the harvest festival of Lughnasa. | |
