Dancing at Lughnasa Theatre Break

Brian Friels Olivier award-winning play, a touching reflection of rural Ireland in the Thirties on the brink of industrialisation, returns to London for the first time since its premiere in 1990.

Friels passionate portrait of the five Mundy sisters follows their loss of love and opportunity played out against the echoes of the twentieth century, with a dark humour, raw energy and tenderness.

Anna Mackmin directs an outstanding cast, Andrea Corr, Niamh Cusack, Michelle Fairley, Simone Kirby, Finbar Lynch, Susan Lynch, Peter McDonald and Jo Stone-Fewings in this vital, life affirming play, in The Old Vics in-the-round CQS Space.
