John Ruskin was a prominent British art critic whose marriage and divorce caused a scandal in Victorian England. We'll look at a new production of the play "The Countess," which is based on Ruskin's marriage and dissolution, and has striking relevance to today. We'll talk with Suzanne Delle and Doug Chilson, the two actors in Yellow Taxi Productions who bring John Ruskin and his wife Effie to life.
