Natalie Haynes Why do Goddesses Matter?
Friday 13 December 7.30pm £15 or £12 or £10 Book here
Comedian and Radio 4 regular who ‘Stands Up for the Classics’, Natalie Haynes, introduces us to Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy of his infidelities leads her to wreak vicious revenge on those who have wronged her: Artemis, goddess of hunting and protector of young girls (apart from those she decides she wants as a sacrifice) and Aphrodite, goddess of sex and desire (no deity is more determined and able to make you miserable if you annoy her). Be prepared to learn and laugh at the same time.

Ambient-dub-techno grooves created live, with Mandelbrotian visuals by this antipodean sound designer who now lives in Ashburton. It’ll be loud enough to dance to, but not so loud that you can’t sit and enjoy it with a drink and friends, to unwind at the end of the week. The Arts Centre bar has a wide selection including an extensive list of grown up no/low alcohol options.
