By the Bog of Cats is a reworking of one of the most famous of the ancient Athenian tragedies, Medea by Euripides, which was first performed as far back as 431 BC. In Hester Swane, Marina Carr has created a protagonist who echoes Medea, seemingly doomed to undergo similar trials as her ancient Greek forbear.
