"Dancing at Lughnasa" By Brian Friel directed by Wilma Warner O’Keefe Tue 11th - Sat 15th October 8pm

Already twenty years old, ‘Lughnasa’ gives us a privileged peek into the lives of the valiant Mundy sisters during the late summer of 1936. The action unfolds in Ballybeg, the fictional Donegal town Friel created and used as the setting for many of his plays. We find the Mundy sisters Kate, Maggie, Christina, Rose and Agnes and Christina’s illegitimate son Michael awaiting the arrival of the women’s brother, Fr Jack, who returns from the Ugandan missions suffering from malaria and, it turns out, a rejection of Catholic faith. An unexpected visit from Gerry, Christina’s suitor and the father of her son, brings enormous excitement to the house. However, like all his visits, it is all too short

The family members’ lives – punctuated by outbursts of gregarious music from ‘Marconi’, the temperamental radio – are revealed to be marked by financial insecurity and unfulfilled love and as the play closes, the adult Michael, who narrates, reveals that this year’s Lughnasa does not bring a fruitful harvest to the house.
