Dancing At Lughnasa
Ireland
Written by Brian Friel and set in
Donegal, the story of five women growing up in thirties Ireland, each different from the other in temperament and capability yet providing common support for each other from the bossy boots teacher to the caring peacemaker, two knitters, a single mother and her son, his father and of course an exiled Father Jack.
And of course the music and dancing.
Staged across the world and on film with Meryl Streep in a leading role, the movie depicts a conservative rural Ireland in the thirties
