Isolde on the shore of Éire

Tristan of Britannia falls in love

Honour of Isolde – marries King Mark

Her heart will not let her walk from Tristan

Isolde and Tristan on their secret bed

The outrage of King Mark – Tristan banished

Tristan to marry Isolde’s look alike

His heart still true to Isolde

Years go by…

Tristan falls ill, sends for Isolde

Signal with white for being on ship, black for not

Wife look alike fabricates her truth

Tristan dies – heart laden with grief

Isolde upon seeing her love lifeless

Swoons and dies beside Tristan
