RHSB is proud to be sponsoring Natalie Haynes Presents Stone Blind, a very special event taking place at the Roman Baths. We have been lucky to have hosted Natalie Haynes at the Senior School in recent years, and we know what a unique and memorable event this will be, in Bath's most iconic venue.


Natalie Haynes Presents Stone Blind: Friday 19 May, 7.30-8.30pm, Roman Baths

Natalie Haynes ‘rock star mythologist’ brings her irresistible take on the snake-haired gorgon in a special festival event.

Medusa is one of the most recognisable figures in Greek myth: her face has stared out at us for millennia, from Agamemnon’s shield in the lliad to Versace’s logo now. But was she always the terrifying monster we have made her? Join writer and broadcaster Natalie Haynes for a fast-paced tour through Medusa’s history, as she questions our perceptions of monsters and heroes and shows us how to survive contact with someone who can turn us to stone with a glance.

Tickets go on general sale on 17 March and you can view the full festival programme here.
