By The Bog of Cats
2009
Set in rural Ireland, By the Bog of Cats is an ‘‘uncompromising tale of abandonment and shocking self-sacrifice’‘. Hester Swane is a woman born of gypsies and tied to the bleak landscape where she has lived her whole life. Her lover, Carthage Kilbride, with whom she has a young daughter, is about to be married to another woman who will bring him land, wealth and respect. Discarded and ignored, Hester sets out with a reckless fervor to reclaim the life that she had.
In this loose retelling of Euripides’ Medea, Marina Carr blends the mythic with the modern, populating the Bogs of Cats with misfits, witches, and ghosts.

I watched 'By the bog of cats' at the NSDF this year in 2010, I wanted to leave my thuoghts on the piece which are simply that it was enchanting and magical, I felt you used as many aspects as you could without complicating the piece and not losing the story telling. Thank you, I really enjoyed it.
Lottie Able, a fan.
