This Hoerspiel (audioplay, c. 45 min) is the final project of my Spring 2009 Senior Seminar on Germanic heroic epic. The script is based on a draft by Geoff Poss. ACHTUNG: This is the *uncensored* version; there is some obscenity in Episode 4. A censored version will follow soon. Below are the episodes & roles. Next month when I get more bytes I'll also upload each episode individually.

Below are two clusters of radio plays. The first, in German, are based on Hartmann von Aue's Iwein and were written and performed by the students (mostly college juniors and seniors) in a course devoted to medieval German Arthurian romance. The second batch, in English, were the work of the students in my freshman seminar "Liebestod und Untergang: Narratives of Passion and Catastrophe in the German Middle Ages".

Casts, roles, and music are identified along with each piece. If you wish to comment, you may use the comment fields or send me an email (asager@uga.edu), which I will pass along to the students. Enjoy!
