No Friend to This House: One-Woman Show

Hay Festival 2026, 

Jason and the Argonauts’ search for the Golden Fleece is one of the most enduring myths in history, told and retold for thousands of years. Here Haynes performs a gripping feminist reclamation of the classic tragedy – this time focusing on Medea, the sorceress who holds the key to Jason’s survival. A brilliant new telling of an ancient story from broadcaster, classics author and comedian Haynes – known for her BBC Radio 4 series, Natalie Haynes Stands up for the Classics.
