Set in Ireland's County Donegal in 1936, DANCING AT LUGHNASA is a memory play told from the point of view of the adult Michael Evans. He recounts that summer spent in his aunts' cottage when he was seven years old, when love briefly seemed possible for three of his aunts and the family welcomed home their frail elder brother, returning from a life as missionary in Africa. The play takes place around the festival of Lughnasa, the festival of the first fruits, when the harvest is welcomed. Whether Michael's family will reap a bountiful or bitter harvest remains a question until the very end.

Fort Myers'own Florida Repertory Theatre was featured in the January 16th edition of the Wall Street Journal in a review of its current production, Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel
Beginning January 9th, the new year is the best time to see live theatre in Fort Myers with a captivating Irish drama, a laugh-out-loud comedy, a brand-new murder mystery, a touching comedy about eighty-somethings in love and the hilarious story of England's favorite housewife.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, Dancing at Lughnasa is a memory play told through the eyes of Michael Evans, now a man, who recalls the summer he spent with his mother and her four maiden sisters in a tiny and impoverished Irish home in 1936. Set against the backdrop of the pagan festival of Lughnasa, the story of changing times and the strength of one family's bond unfolds as the music of their first wireless set casts its spell under the hot August sun.
