A curious directive production, developed with the support of the National Theatre Generate Programme.

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 life, a razor-sharp account of the dilemmas facing generations of farming families.
