Dancing at Lughnasa
106 Central St Wellesley
Wellesley Summer Theatre Company presents Dancing at Lughnasa, Irish playwright Brian Friel's intimate and lyrical portrait of a country and a family at a crossroads. The now-adult narrator of the play recalls the summer when he was seven years old. It was a tough time, but his mother and aunts, the proud Mundy sisters, staved off the hardships of daily life through talk, laughter and dance. Set during the Festival of Lughnasa in the rural Ireland of 1936, the play focuses on the sisters as they welcome home their frail missionary brother from Uganda. His arrival is the first of several events that coincide to burst the Mundy sisters' fragile bubble of happiness forever.
