In this important text from the European literary canon, one of Ireland’s greatest works, we find the first sensitive depiction of the insane and on the effect of mental illness on a person’s mind and life.
“Scéal ar an gcumhacht, ar an gcreidimh; an tráma inste go paiteanta … téacs atá anseo don gcluas.” — Aonghus Ó hAlmhain, Smaointe Fánacha Aonghusa
What the critics said about An Tromdhámh:
“Athchóiriú géarchúiseach faoi anáil renovatio na hard-mheánaoise féin é An Tromdhámh, feictear dom, agus cé gur ríléir an dílseacht don traidisiún agus an grinneas friotail sa gcóiriú teanga, tá glór cruthaitheach údair le haithint freisin agus is maith ann dó.” – Dónall Ó Braonáin, Comhar.
A retelling of the old Irish tale Buile Shuibhne. Mé Suibhne is a tale about mental illness, about confrontation with the Church, about the tragedy of man. Here you will find the seven univeral themes: love, loneliness, sorrow, joy, contrition, forgiveness, and redemption.
