Plato
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's standing up in the name of one of the world's greatest thinkers, Plato.
With the help of:
Psychotherapist, Philippa Perry
Classicist, Professor Edith Hall.
Plato wasn't perfect, even though he talks about perfection all the time. Turns out he was on the chunky side and had bad eyesight. On the other hand, he was very good at wrestling.
Producer: Mary Ward-Lowery
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2016.
