Jenny will play Lily in John Morton's black comedy 'Taboo' at the Source Arts Centre, Thurles on November 29th

"She has a multi-layered and complex persona and her deftness of hand is stunning"( Echo)

"Like a sandy Miss Havisham clutching a bouquet of seaweed, Jenny ignites the demented Ursula as the core of the play" (Irish Times)

“Fennessy’s Margaret is full of coltish energy, brimming with optimism. She wonderfully captures the exhilarations, hopes and worries of the young woman”(Echo)

"Jenny and Dylan Kennedy – are sensitive and powerful as young Billy and Maggie” (News&Star)
