Overview
Once
Set in rural County Donegal in 1936, Dancing at Lughnasa unfolds inside the home of the Mundy sisters, five unmarried women navigating love, faith, economic uncertainty, and the quiet pressures of a changing Ireland. Beyond their kitchen door lies a world shaped by Catholic belief, while older, pagan rhythms hum just beneath the surface—felt most powerfully through music and dance.
Told through memory and reflection, Dancing at Lughnasa is both intimate and expansive. Brian Friel’s writing captures moments of joy alongside the realities of constraint, illuminating the inner lives of women whose stories often go untold.
