SCAD’s 2025 winter play mounted in the Mondonaro Theater

Play synopsis:

Dancing at Lughnasa is a captivating exploration of memory and longing. In rural Ireland, the Mundy sisters seek solace in each other, and the radio that keeps them connected to their roots. As they navigate the challenges of family, love and societal change, the women revisit their rituals and memories of happier times. A poignant, poetic memory play that shines a light on the bond between sisters, and the hardships women faced in Ireland in the ‘30s, written by esteemed Irish playwright Brian Friel (Molly Sweeney, produced at APT in 2013).
