On Stage
Natalie Haynes is a writer and broadcaster and – according to the Washington Post – a “rock star mythologist”. Her first novel, The Amber Fury, was published to great acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, as have all her books since, including A Thousand Ships, which was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2020 and has been translated into more multiple languages than she can now remember. Her non-fiction book, Pandora’s Jar: Women in the Greek Myth reached number 2 in the New York Times Bestseller chart… and author Margaret Atwood really liked her 2022 novel, Stone Blind.
Natalie has been speaking on the modern relevance of the classical world for the last fifteen years, on tours which have spanned many countries and three continents.
She has written and presented 11 series of Stand Up for the Classics on BBC Radio 4 and is a Cosmic Shambles OG, having performed at the original Nine Lessons event almost two decades ago, and nearly every one since.
