Lancaster Footlights present - DANCING AT LUGHNASA, By Brian Friel, Tuesday 19 – Saturday 23 October 7.30pm
Dancing at Lughnasa is one of the most popular plays to have come out of Ireland in recent years. It tells the story of the five impoverished Mundy sisters and their elder brother, as narrated by Michael, the adult son of the youngest sister. A poignant and often humorous tale, it is set during the summer of 1936 to a backdrop of the Irish troubles and a growing industrialisation that threatens to tear the family apart. The play was also made into a film starring Meryl Streep, Kathy Burke and Rhys Ifans and was released in 1998 to great acclaim. Dancing at Lughnasa runs from Tuesday 19 – Saturday 23 October. Tickets cost £8.50/£7.50 with first night tickets at a special price of £6.50. SPECIAL OFFER FOR STUDENTS OF £5.00. They can be booked from The Grand Theatre on 01524 64695
