By the Bog of Cats by Marina Carr is the latest production from Newbridge Drama Group.

The play takes place in the Irish midlands and is loosely based on the Greek Myth Medea. The play contains mystical and mythical elements including ghosts and centres on the character Hester Swane. The story tells us she was abandoned by her mother as a young child and the effects it has had on her life and relationships.

It’s directed by Mary Linehan and stars Martina Smith and Keith Walsh as the main characters!

“We can promise you a play with plenty of drama, wonderful characters and live music onstage! The score was written and will be performed by local musician Mairead Carroll,” said group spokesperson, Carol Duffy.

“So do yourself a favour and contact the Riverbank Arts Centre Newbridge and get booking.”
