Ovid's Heroines, written in Rome some time around 20BC, is a series of letter poems in the voices of women from Greek and Roman myth. Women - including Medea, Penelope and Ariadne - address the men they love. Poet Clare Pollard's new free verse translation (Bloodaxe Books) rediscovers Ovid's Heroines for the 21st Century, bringing to life a cast of women who are brave, bitchy, sexy, horrifying, heartbreaking and surprisingly modern. Now Jaybird Live Literature brings the Heroines top the stage in a new live literature production. Clare reads, recites and performs her astonishing poems against a backdrop of Mediterranean light and music. Love letters fly back and forth between the ancient world and modern Britain - the messages of longing, suffering and beauty they bear are universal and timeless.
