Samuel Adamson

Published by AmberLane Press

3 Male 3 Female

When Grace decides to leave her sheltered accommodation and return to her old home, her children start to worry. Only Ellie, her daughter-in-law, seems to understand her need to dwell on the past and her passion for the Australian soprano Joan Sutherland

The family gather round to protect their inheritance, but behind the mask of genteel senility is cunning: Grace has plans of her own

"Grace Note is in my experience the first play ever to tackle Alzheimer's in any real detail the drama, like its title character, has considerable reserves of unexpected strength" ~ Sheridan Morely, International Herald Tribune

"The writing is so light, it elegantly and amusingly defies the gravity of its theme [Adamson] keeps the tensions going like a professional knitter" ~ Kate Kellaway, New Statesman and Society

"He has a gentle, elliptical style that is refreshing in a young dramatist ... The dialogue is often very funny, the wit is fresh and tart, and Adamson has the gift of making you care about his characters" ~ Sarah Hemming, The Financial Times

"...this play will commend itself to societies who seek opportunities to perform plays of unique and exceptional quality" ~ Amateur Stage
