Pleasure Might Make Her Read - Poems and Music for the Sidneys

Sir Philip Sidney was a flourescent courtier who, in his short career, touched all the bases of Elizabethan courtiership: fighter of the Spanish, poet and lover and outspoken opinion-haver on Elizabeth’s marriage. Actor Tracy Ryan reads poems and prose by and about Sidney and his untimely death, with lute pieces dedicated to him, his brother Robert, Viscount Lisle and sister, Mary, the Countess of Pembroke.
