Set in the mysterious landscape of the bogs of rural Ireland,
Carr's lyrical and timeless play tells the story of Hester Swane,
an Irish traveller with a deep and unearthly connection to her
land. Tormented by the memory of a mother who deserted her, Hester
is once again betrayed, this time by the father of her child, the
man she loves. On the brink of despair, she embarks on a terrible
journey of vengeance as the secrets of her tangled history are
revealed. 'A piece of poetic realism steeped in the past... Carr
has an extraordinary ability to move between the mythic and the
real.' Guardian 'A great play... a great work of poetry... the word
should soon carry across both sides of the Atlantic.' Independent
