Join Natalie Haynes and guests for half an hour of comedy and the
Classics from the BBC Radio Theatre in London.

Natalie is a recovering comedian who is a little bit obsessive
about Ancient Greece and Rome. Each week she takes a different
figure from the Ancient World and tells their story through a mix
of stand-up comedy and conversation.

Today she stands up in the name of Roman historian Livy, who gave
us Hannibal crossing the Alps and the inspiration for
Shakespeare's Coriolanus. Meticulously researched facts or a damn
fine story? History or myth? Mostly the latter, but priceless
nonetheless.

Elephants, early science and a lot of essential information from
a thousand years ago.

With special guests comedian - and history buff - Al Murray and
classicist Professor Llewelyn Morgan. Producer...Mary
Ward-Lowery.
