Jeremy Irons & Sinéad Cusack: The Waste Land. (introduced by James Lever.

Welcome to this performance of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, featuring Jeremy Irons and Sinéad Cusack. In this event, we witness a stunning interpretation of Eliot's groundbreaking poem, which explores the themes of post-World War I disillusionment, despair and the quest for rebirth.
But before we begin, author and biographer James Lever, introduces us to the historical context and literary significance of The Waste Land.

Very nice, but for goodness' sake, someone needs to teach Jeremy how to pronounce German.

[@ur.kr.2814]

Yeah, that was the one thing that stuck out. Seems strange that he doesn't try to read the other languages in the right accent or at least pronunciation. He certainly would be able to do it.
