Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel is a beautifully crafted, poignant and lyrical play set in rural Ireland in 1936, told through the nostalgic memories of Michael, who recalls one summer with his mother and four aunts.
Blending humour and pathos, Friel captures the chaotic warmth, sharp wit, and quiet heartbreak of the Mundy sisters as they navigate love, loss and change. Their laughter and teasing reveal both deep affection and unspoken sorrow, while the rare joy of dancing together offers fleeting escape from hardship. Richly human and emotionally resonant, Dancing at Lughnasa celebrates resilience, memory, and the fragile moments that define family life.
