This is more than a play—it is a poignant, unforgettable portrait of five unmarried sisters, the Mundy family, clinging to tradition and each other as the modern world begins to close in. Witness their struggles, their deep-seated desires, and the fragile, unforgettable moment of feverish release when they dance wildly on the verge of change. Friel’s work is a powerful, life-affirming meditation on memory, loss, and the bittersweet intensity of family love, guaranteed to stir your soul and leave you breathless.
