The Fionn MacCumhaill Players, amidst all the drama and excitement of receiving three nominations for their short film about Bridget Cleary in LA shorts, are now staging Marina Carr's great play in April ‘By the Bog of Cats’.
The play tells the story of Hester Swane, a settled traveller woman who has a child for a local younger man.

The play is set on the day of his wedding to another younger farmer's daughter.
Hester, abandoned by her mother as a young girl, is now feeling abandoned yet again, and it all becomes too much for her.
She is frightened of losing everything, especially her daughter Josie.
The Players say they have a big cast, which introduces two new young actresses to the stage sharing the part of young Josie Swane.
A plethora of strange and crazy characters makes this play a very different experience for the audience.
Booking is now open on www.gr8events.ie for Mullinahone Community Hall on Thursday and Friday, April 23 and 24, and for The Abymill Theatre Fethard on Saturday May 2.
Tickets are also available for The Source Arts Centre, Thurles, on Thursday, April 30, via their website, or through their box office on 0504 90204.
