Aristophanes
Natalie Haynes takes a fresh look at the ancient world: meet Greek playwright and comedy genius Aristophanes. From 2016.
Join Natalie Haynes and guests for half an hour of comedy and the Classics from the 蜜芽传媒 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 Greek playwright and inventor of 'old comedy', Aristophanes. Expect a chorus of frogs, rather too much information about padded costumes, and a sex strike. Oh, and a lot of gossip from two and half thousand years ago.
With special guests:
Rosie Wyles
Edith Hall
Fiona Laird.
Producer: Mary Ward-Lowery
First broadcast on 蜜芽传媒 Radio 4 in April 2016.
