Black Sheep

It’s Easter weekend on the Carter family’s farm.

In the fields, the soil is dying.

In the shed, lambing season is in full swing.

In the village church, a secret love is blooming.

In the front seats of a rusty transit van, a brutal revenge is plotted.

And around the kitchen table, the extended Carter family struggle to face the future.

Black Sheep is a contemporary psalm about rural Norfolk life, devised in collaboration with 12 Norfolk Farmers. A razor-sharp account of the dilemmas facing generations of farming families.

A curious directive production, a Norfolk-based company, developed with the support of the National Theatre Generate Programme.
