Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel, one of Ireland's most important playwrights, is the fictionalized memory of his childhood. The play is about five courageous, good-hearted women who attempt to fight their fate with extraordinary resilience, told from the point of view of a seven year old boy. Dancing at Lughnasa was first performed at the Abby Theater, in Dublin, in 1990, and garnered the 1991 Olivier Award.
