Tristan and Isolde

Beschreibung

An enduring, classic, medieval tale of doomed romance with echoes of the love triangle between King Arthur, Queen Guinevere and Lancelot. Tristan is sent from Cornwall to bring Isolde, an Irish Princess, to marry King Mark, but a love potion is taken, by mistake or otherwise, so passion and tragedy ensue in a tale that lives on today.
