Jennifer WalshFriday 14 November 2003
Jennifer Walsh is the Irish composer who's just written an opera called XXX Live Nude Girls where Barbies are manipulated by puppeteers.

It's based on research she did with young girls who played with the dolls. She discovered a dark vein of Barbie abuse which she's transferred to the stage.
Jennifer Walshe joins Martha to tell her about the opera.
The only performance is tonight at the Jacqueline du Pre Music Building at St Hilda's College, Oxford.
