Dancing at Lughnasa
A play by Brian Friel • Directed by Steven Reynolds
OCTOBER 15 - NOVEMBER 8, 2015
This extraordinary play, widely regarded as Friel’s masterpiece, is the study of the ve unmarried Mundy sisters, named for Friel’s mother and sisters, who live in a modest cottage in Donegal. On the threshold of the autumn of 1936, the household revolves around the eight year old love-child, Michael, and the Mundy sisters’ brother, Uncle Jack, recently returned from 25 years in a leper colony in Uganda. Ancient tribal customs and Christian beliefs clash as the autumnal fires celebrating the Harvest God, Lugh, bathe the high grass in golden light and distant music on the radio floats across the fields. DANCING AT LUGHNASA won the 1992 Tony Award for Best Play.
