Marina Carr's BY THE BOG OF CATS

BY THE BOG OF CATS, By Marina Carr | Directed by Tim Spears Loosely based on Euripides' tragedy Medea, this is the prophetic tale of Hester Swane, an Irish Traveller, who attempts to come to terms with a lifetime of abandonment in a world where all whom she has loved have discarded her. Set on the bleak, ghostly landscape of the Bog of Cats, this provocative drama discloses one woman's courageous attempts to lay claim to that which is hers, as her world is torn in two. By the Bog of Cats is a furious, uncompromising tale of greed and betrayal, of murder and profound self-sacrifice. Running time: 2 hours, 35 minutes.
