The Pangs of Ulster

by Conor Casey

In a land torn by rivalries, the powerful Queen Medb of Connacht covets the prized Brown Bull of Cooley, a symbol of wealth and prestige. Igniting a feud with the warriors of Ulster, who are mysteriously struck by debilitating pains, Queen Medb's ambition knows no bounds. This piece is adapted from the Táin Bó Cuailnge and won first place in the 2023 Celtic Calling playwriting contest.
