Lammas! - Sheep!

Jenni Nikinmaa: Sheep!

​A play about sheep, flocks and belonging, told by a sheep who doesn't know how to belong after she was sexually assaulted.

To find her way back into the herd, she weaves an off-beat comedic tale of sheep who are born, loved, and eaten – asking for it, having such cute lambs - and go to space in search of the lost connection.

A powerful, weird and wonderful monologue that invites you into joy and resilience, into the flock of soft, fluffy and vulnerable sheep.

"Jenni Nikinmaa's Sheep! is one of the most impactful, honest, and responsible artworks on sexual assault I've experienced.”
- Audience Feedback

“Both strange and poignant, both provocative and sympathetic.”
- Abbey Theatre Literary Team
