In Dancing at Lughnasa, Brian Friel brilliantly evokes not simply a family trapped in their domestic situation, but the wider landscape, interior and exterior, Christian and pagan, of which they are a part.
Born 9 January 1929, Catholic, in Omagh, County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, Brian Friel is one of Ireland's most prominent playwrights. In addition to his published plays, he has written short stories; screenplays; film, TV and Radio adaptations of his plays; and several pieces of non-fiction on the role of theatre and the artist.
"There is no doubting we are in the thrall of as masterly a dramatist as the theatre possesses." --The Times
