By the Bog of Cats

Marina Carr

The scorn of Hester Swayne, a woman abandoned once and discarded later, threatens a whole community as she awaits her mother's return to the Bog of Cats: "God's punishing me but I won't take his blows lyin' down." Forgiveness, vengeance and disparate forces figure in the tangled history embodied in her own powerful drama. 

Premiered at the Abbey Theatre in October 1998, this is a story of heartbreak and, occasionally, hilarity, the secrets of which unfold towards its tragic conclusion.
