Description:
Ancient Ulsterwomen used sex as a weapon, and they made plenty of noise about it! Snarly-yet-lyrical modern Ulsterwoman Dr. Lara McClure rants up a trio of foul-mouthed ancestresses – Ness (Cuchulain’s Nana), who assaulted a druid to further her dynastic ambition; cattle-rustling Queen Medb, whose conjugal relations with warrior husband Aillil took the form of combat; and sorrowful Deirdre, whose closely-guarded virginity drove the nation to mass slaughter. Darkly hilarious storytelling with gnarly traditional roots. Listeners are advised to think long and hard before accepting the friendship of the Queen’s thighs. 'Too bloody right!' (Medb). 'All lies' (Ness).
