Experience Dancing at Lughnasa at Asolo Rep, directed by the acclaimed Joe Dowling. Brian Frielโs Tony Award-winning play offers a vivid portrait of five sisters in 1930s rural Ireland, told through the memories of their nephew, Michael.
Balancing humor and heartbreak, the story explores family, faith, and a changing world with Frielโs signature warmth and sharp insight.
With its rich characters and beautifully crafted dialogue, this production is a rare chance to see one of Irelandโs greatest plays in the hands of a director who knows it inside and out.
