Brian Friel's study of five unmarried sisters living in a modest cottage in Donegal is simply extraordinary. On the threshold of the autumn of 1936, the household revolves around 8 year old love-child, Michael, and the Mundy brother priest, Uncle Jack, recently returned from 25 years in a leper colony in Uganda. Ancient tribal customs and Christian beliefs clash as the sisters, with unfailing courage and sweet forgiveness dance in a wild, final celebration of their way of life before it changes forever.
Winner of the 1992 Tony Award for Best Play, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Broadway Play and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. "This is no way a play to be missed—simply a wondrous experience. Experience it." —NY Post
