Dancing at Lughnasa

by Brian Friel

April 18 - May 17, 2025

It is 1936 and harvest time in County Donegal. In a house just outside the village of Ballybeg live the five Mundy sisters, barely making ends meet, their ages ranging from twenty-six up to forty. The two male members of the household are brother Jack, a missionary priest, repatriated from Africa by his superiors after twenty-five years, and the seven-year-old child of the youngest sister. In depicting two days in the life of this menage, Brian Friel evokes not simply the interior landscape of a group of human beings trapped in their domestic situation, but the wider landscape, interior and exterior, Christian and pagan, of which they are nonetheless a part.

This play was directed by Suzanne King and featured Jen Norten, Brit Garcia, Lauren Lawson, Kennedy VanDeMore, Kristen Sheils, Brian Heaton, Maxwell Metyko & H Levi Smiley with Jen Rathbun backstage and Andrea de Oliveira in the tech booth.
