AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Life on dry ground is not well suited to a Selkie. Rónnad feels the magnetic pull of the moon and the tide calling her home. Drying out, she is helpless and held captive in a body and a world which are not her own.

'Written by The Epic’s Finn O’Branagáin, Selkie is a provocative work exploring this mythological other who is lost in a relationship where she is both owned and prized, her identity repressed in an attempt at assimilation.' (Production summary)
