Written by Brian Friel

Description

Winner of the 1991 Tony Award for Best Play. A haunting play, Dancing at Lughnasa is Friel's tribute to the spirit and valour of the past and its people. A son remembers the five women who raised him, his mother and four maiden aunts. The sisters acquire their first radio, whose music transforms them from correct Catholic women to shrieking, stomping banshees. And he meets his father for the first time, a charming Welsh drifter who sweeps his mother away in an elegant dance across the fields.
