created in confinement in Canada by acclaimed author Margaret Atwood and her
sister Ruth. Actor Emma Thompson reflects on mortality and exclusively reads
a John Donne poem while in isolation in Scotland. And Mary is joined on a
video link by writer and critic Shahidha Bari to discuss Titian鈥檚 great
mythological masterpieces, which are currently off-limits due to the
temporary closure of the National Gallery.
