About this event

Brian Friel’s classic play is a love letter to memory, bringing us into the lives of the five Mundy sisters the summer that everything changes.

Set in Donegal in 1936, Brian Friel’s award winning play centers on the five Mundy sisters, who live with their older brother, a priest just returned from Uganda, and the youngest sister’s seven year old son, Michael. Narrated by a grown up Michael, this play explores memory, family, and public and private life against a backdrop of the tension between Christianity and paganism.

***** “For an ‘amateur’ musical society Entr’acte certainly put many professional companies to shame.” – Chris O’Rourke, The Arts Review on Jesus Christ Superstar.
