Download: John Parish's Death of Ophelia

John Parish says: "I wrote Death of Ophelia for the Yeovil College touring production of Hamlet in 1993. The production was called False Fire and was directed by Andy Wistreich. It was pretty uncompromising, and the music was fearsomely loud. At each performance a sizeable percentage of the audience didn't return after the interval. One of those who stayed was Polly, who was so enthused by the music that she asked me to write her something that she could put words to. The result was our album Dance Hall at Louse Point."
