Synopsis

In the small Irish village of Ballybeg, the Mundy sisters find their quiet lives disrupted by the arrival of their brother, a missionary priest from Africa, and the village’s first radio. As the festival of Lughnasa approaches, the sisters confront their desires and fears, and their family bond is tested. This Tony Award-winning play captures the nostalgia and heartache of a family standing at a crossroad, with moments of joy and dance that underscore their unyielding resilience.
