Trilby and the Strange Cure of Svengali | #RetroRadio

About this episode

The episode explores the story of Trilby, an artist's model in 1800s Paris, and her strange encounter with the musician Svengali.

In late-1800s Paris, an eighteen-year-old artist's model named Trilby suffers from headaches no doctor can touch. The cure, when it finally arrives, comes from the eyes of a strange musician named Svengali — and her friends are convinced she should never have let him near her.
