Dancing at Lughnasa

This event has ended

Gate Theatre, Friday 12th July - Saturday 21st September

Dancing at Lughnasa centres on the Mundy sisters in Donegal as the Constitution of Ireland is being conceived and the hopes of summer and the possibility of love feel like they are in the grasp of these extraordinary, ordinary women.

Dancing at Lughnasa is a play about female resilience and the sacrifices we choose, and are forced, to make. Although inevitably tragic, it celebrates the truth and beauty of these women and reminds us of how far away freedom is for so many.

Gwyneth Goes Skiing

Smock Alley Theatre

A story of love, betrayal, and skiing – where you are the jury. She’s the Goop-founding, Door-Sliding, Shakespeare-In-Loving, consciously-uncoupling Hollywood superstar.
