Directed by *Celeste Cosentino* :: MainStage Theatre ::
*Cleveland Premiere!*
Loosely based on Euripides' tragedy Medea, this is the prophetic tale of
Hester Swane, an Irish Traveller, 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. Starring Cleveland's
own *Derdriu
Ring** as Hester.
**(Member of Actors’ Equity Association)*
*Please Note:** This production contains scene with strong violence and may
not be suitable for younger audiences. *

*"…this contemporary Irish variation on Medea [offers] a compelling look
into a mind warped by human unkindness…it would be folly to miss this
memorable illumination of a descent into darkness." -Bay Area Reporter*
