Description
Written by Marina Carr Directed by Daniel Inouye "Loosely
based on Euripides' tragedy Medea, this is the prophetic tale of Hester
Swane, an Irish Traveler, 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. Hester's long-term lover, Carthage Kilbride, with
whom she has a seven-year-old daughter, is selling her "down the
river" for the promise of land and wealth through a marriage with the local
big farmer's daughter. In the final moments of the action, we witness a woman
provoked beyond the limits of human endurance. By the Bog of Cats is a
furious, uncompromising tale of greed and betrayal, of murder and profound
self-sacrifice."--Publisher's description. Content dislaimers: Due to the mature content of this play, the theatre program recommends the production for audience members aged 13 or older.
