Dancing at Lughnasa

“Dancing as if language had surrendered to movement—as if this ritual, this wordless ceremony, was now the way to speak.”

Step Back in Time with Brian Friel’s Masterpiece

Ballywillan Drama Group is thrilled to present a spellbinding production of Brian Friel’s multi-award-winning classic, Dancing at Lughnasa.

Set in the golden, fading days of the summer of 1936, this unforgettable play invites you into the lives of the five fierce and loving Mundy sisters in rural County Donegal. As the harvest festival approaches, the arrival of their first radio, affectionately named "Marconi" , sparks a brief, dazzling explosion of music, dance, and suppressed longing. Friel's captivating script explores the fragile balance between strict societal expectations and the wild, untamed rhythms of the heart.

Join us for an evening of exquisite storytelling, joy, and heartbreak, brought to life by exceptional local talent on the celebrated stage of the Flowerfield Arts Centre in Portstewart.
