Ovid
Natalie Haynes takes a fresh look at the ancient world - Greek myths from a female perspective with Roman poet, Ovid. From 2016.
Join Natalie Haynes and guests for half an hour of comedy and the Classics from the BBC Radio Theatre in London.
Natalie is a reformed comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greece and Rome.
She stands up in the name of Roman poet, Ovid. Expect frottage at the races, Greek myths from a female perspective, and enough inspiration for painters, writers and sculptures to last a couple of millenia.
With special guests:
Llewelyn Morgan
Michael Squire
Producer: Mary Ward-Lowery
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2016.
