Glenda Jackson provides the voice of poet Stevie Smith in this animated interpretation of her extraordinary 1950's poem 'The Blue from Heaven'. Suzie Hanna has adapted and animated the poet's own drawings to communicate her rueful, wistful, comic, and melancholy themes with music and sound design by Phil Archer. In Stevie Smith’s awkward world, King Arthur banishes Guinevere to the palace, and he enters the blue from heaven.
