A new production, made in association with Radio Telefis Eireann, of Brian Friel's award-winning play first staged at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 1990.

In the Irish town of Ballybeg in 1936, on the eve of the pagan Feast of Lughnasa, a young man recalls growing up with his mother, his four aunts and an uncle who was sent home from the missions under a cloud.
His recollection of the innocence and sorrow of the period is filled with that mesmeric 30s music to which everyone danced - "eyes half closed, because to open them would break the spell".

This production features the original cast from the 1991 West End production at the Phoenix Theatre.
