Hello followers! Did you know that the film version of Dancing at Lughnasa was released 14 years ago today? This screenplay, written by Frank McGuinness and directed by Pat O'Connor, premiered on November 13, 1998. The movie starred Meryl Streep (Kate), Kathy Burke (Maggie), and Michael Gambon (Jack), amongst others. Roger Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun Times (and a screenwriter himself), noted that while the film's performance had strong efforts, seeing the story on the stage was more moving for him. The review in full can be found at: Roger Ebert - Sun Times - Dancing at Lughnasa Film Review.
Here at Parkside, we're busy pulling costumes, painting the set, and rehearsing scenes and dances. We absolutely cannot wait to share our performance with you!
