The Ballad of Blea Wyke

A young woman wants to see the sea. A stranger stands on a cliff. The last grey seal swims towards the shore. On her eighteenth birthday, Cerys, breaks the city’s lockdown and seeks the coastal cliffs that birthed her, the crumbling landscape drawing her back to her mythic past.

Evocative and lyrical spoken word storytelling that draws inspiration from the traditional Selkie myth and reimagines it for a not-too-distant future on the North Yorkshire coast. A haunting interweaving of story, music, poetry and song, with a rich backdrop of harmonies.
