Yvain and the Lady of the Fountain
Yvain and the Lady of the Fountain is an original audio drama, adapted and revised from Chrétien de Troyes’ medieval Arthurian tale. Featuring a full cast of voiced characters, immersive sound effects, and an original orchestral score, this play brings to life the story of the knight Yvain.
When Yvain falls in love with the keeper of a magic fountain, his quest for glory soon gives way to a deeper calling. Tested by combat and conscience alike, he discovers that love demands selflessness above all else.
Act I of the play is now available for streaming on all major platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Act II is in production and tentatively scheduled for release in December 2025.
