As a member of the cast of Square Rounds and The Kaisers of Carnuntum, both designed by Jocelyn Herbert and written and directed by Tony Harrison, and as the partner of Tony Harrison in private life, Sian Thomas brings a unique and intimate perspective to the remarkable professional relationship which developed between designer and poet/playwright/director over a twenty year period.
