- Synopsis
-
For jealousy of her husband's prize bull, Medb, Queen of Connacht, takes her people to war to steal its match from Ulster -- the legendary Brown Bull of Cuailnge. With the Ulsterman stricken by a curse, only the youthful Cu Chulainn stands against Connacht's assembled armies, but in feats of supernatural strength and extravagant violence, he sets about bloodily disassembling them.
Full of black comedy and brutal action, The Tain is the great epic of Irish folk literature, and Ciaron Carson's translation perfectly captures its excitement, humour and earthiness.
