Dancing at Lughnasa

Winner of the 1991 Tony Award for Best Play. A haunting play, Dancing
at Lughnasa is Friel's tribute to the spirit and valour of the past and its
people. A son remembers the five women who raised him, his mother and
four maiden aunts. The sisters acquire their first radio, whose music
transforms them from correct Catholic women to shrieking, stomping
banshees. And he meets his father for the first time, a charming Welsh
drifter who sweeps his mother away in an elegant dance across the
fields.
