Ella Grey and her friends are ordinary kids from ordinary families in an ordinary world. They fall in and out of love, play music, stare at the stars, yearn for excitement, and have parties on the beautiful beaches of Northumberland. One day, a stranger – a musician called Orpheus – appears on the beach, entrancing them all, but particularly Ella. Where have they come from, and what path will Ella follow?
A Song for Ella Grey is a version of the myth of Orpheus that sings of the madness of youth, the ache of love, and the near-impossibility of grasping death. Zoe Cooper's stage adaptation of David Almond's award-winning novel was first produced in 2024 by Pilot Theatre, in association with Northern Stage and York Theatre Royal. This edition includes the full text of the play along with a range of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators bring the play to life for their students.
Praise for the novel:
Infused with lyricism and with the fire and oddness of adolescence. Fresh, involving, and lucid, it is a song in itself, and teens will find it fills them with poignant longing and joy.
Telegraph
The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is retold against a wild Northumbrian landscape: life, death, love, and myths. Just wonderful.
