Dancing at Lughnasa
Written by Brian Friel
Directed by Ed Cohn
Step back into the summer of 1936 County Donegal, Ireland, as Messiah University proudly presents Brian Friel’s award-winning masterpiece, Dancing at Lughnasa.
This is more than a play—it is a poignant, unforgettable portrait of five unmarried sisters, the Mundy family, clinging to tradition and each other as the modern world begins to close in. Witness their struggles, their deep-seated desires, and the fragile, unforgettable moment of feverish release when they dance wildly on the verge of change. Friel’s work is a powerful, life-affirming meditation on memory, loss, and the bittersweet intensity of family love, guaranteed to stir your soul and leave you breathless.
