The Ballad of Blea Wyke

by Hannah Davies with music by Jack Woods

The Ballad of Blea Wyke is inspired by the traditional selkie myth. This contemporary re-imagining is set against the dramatic landscape of the Yorkshire coast, and tells the story of Cerys, a young girl who goes in search of her past, and finds more than she expected at the top of a dark cliff.

Lyrical spoken word storytelling with original live music.

 A short extract of this piece was commissioned as part of York Theatre Royal’s Green Shoots.
