Dream A Little Dream
In the beautiful and desolate reaches of rural Ireland, a family leads a simple life. But beneath the fog of their poverty lies a kindling fire, exploding out in moments of music and heat and the frenzy that comes with long-denied want. A rich tapestry woven with the lives of five women, each overflowing with hope and resilience. Each thread vital to the strength of the whole. Immersive, poetic and devastating, with an incredible cast who can carry the weight of this family and send it floating like a kite on a chilled Celtic breeze. Running August 2 - September 27
Featuring Tracy Michelle Arnold, Nate Burger, Maggie Cramer, Colleen Madden, Elizabeth Reese, James Ridge, Laura Rook, Marcus Truschinski
Summary
Dancing at Lughnasa is a captivating exploration of memory and longing. In rural Ireland, the Mundy sisters seek solace in each other, and the radio that keeps them connected to their roots. As they navigate the challenges of family, love and societal change, the women revisit their rituals and memories of happier times. A poignant, poetic memory play that shines a light on the bond between sisters, and the hardships women faced in Ireland in the ‘30s, written by esteemed Irish playwright Brian Friel (Molly Sweeney, produced at APT in 2013).
