Ballarat National Theatre presents Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel, directed by Mary-Rose McLaren

Dancing at Lughnasa from Sept 27 – Oct 6 Brian Friel’s Olivier Award-winning play is an astonishing evocation of a family’s world on the brink of change.

It’s harvest time in County Donegal, Ireland, 1936.

Outside the village of Ballybeg, the five Mundy sisters battle poverty to raise seven-year-old Michael and care for their brother, ‘Uncle’ Jack. During the Festival of Lughnasa, Pagan and Christian meet and collide.

The sisters fight each other, love each other, dance, yearn and survive.

In partnership with the Ballarat & District Irish Society Performance
