大象传媒

A new sequence of poems by Lavinia Greenlaw which trace the theme of vision through Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. Through interior monologues from the perspectives of both of the lovers, Greenlaw explores how we choose to see or not to see, and how we create what we see.

Read by Lavinia Greenlaw and David Seddon.

Produced by Emma Harding.
