Dancing at Lughnasa

It is 1936 in County Donegal, Ireland and this Tony-Award winning bittersweet memory play by Brian Friel tells the story of Michael, a young boy growing up in a fatherless home with his unmarried mother and her four sisters. The family barely scrapes by, trapped by the proprieties of the religious society of Ireland in the thirties, and on the brink of an industrial revolution that will devastate the family.
