Macha’s Curse

Mallacht Macha

This superb retelling of a traditional tale from early Irish literature explores the shift from kinship to kingship as the basis for social unity in ancient Ireland. In the story, the pregnant goddess Macha is unwittingly betrayed by her husband and forced by the King of Ulster into an ill-fated race against his horses.
