Summer 1936. In a house in a remote part of County Donegal the five Mundy sisters live a simple life with their older brother Jack, a missionary priest, and seven-year old Michael. Barely able to make ends meet, the sisters acquire their first wireless radio and dream of happiness and love.
Years later as Michael looks back at the events of that Summer, a tender and passionate portrait of the Mundy sisters’ lives unfolds.
Brian Friel’s masterpiece is a bittersweet reflection on life in rural Ireland in the 1930s. Premiered in 1990, Dancing At Lughnasa (pronounced Loon-essa) has previously been produced in the West End and on Broadway, winning an Olivier Award and three Tony Awards.

I am going to see this play. I am over in birmingham at University. I read the play in school and carried out coursework on it and also watched the film. I can't wait to see the play on stage. I know it is going to be brilliant!
