Dancing at Lughnasa May 2, 2009

Told through the childhood memories of young Michael, 'Dancing at Lughnasa' follows the story of five middle-aged and unmarried sisters in 1930s rural Ireland. The yearly harvest festival, Lugh, provides a backdrop for a tale of lives on the brink of falling apart and conflicts of faith. Brian Friel's lyrical language fills this luminous play with wonderful humor and touching pathos.
