A story told by Dan Yashinsky. A King and
Queen have a son who never speaks and becomes known as the Silent
Prince. When he turns 18 years of age, the King and Queen offer a
reward to anyone who can make him speak. They are to spend one
night with the prince with a witness, and if they fail, they are
to be beheaded. Many men tried and failed. Then a girl in the
village decides to try. Before she goes to the palace she asks
for her grandmother's advice. The girl then goes to the palace
and spends a night in the prince's room. She succeeds in getting
the prince to speak, by asking the witness a riddle-story. When
the witness cannot answer the riddle, the prince offers an
answer. This is repeated for a second night with two witnesses,
and for a third night with three witnesses, until finally the
King believes that the prince has spoken. As her reward, the girl
marries the prince.

In 2003, Jillian Barker, Head of Education at the Barbican
Centre, London, approached Ben Haggarty, Artistic Director of the
Crick Crack Club, with a proposal to programme regular
performance storytelling at the Barbican Centre. Since 2003 the
Crick Crack Club has worked in partnership with Barbican
Education to programme 9 events a year in the Barbican Pit
Theatre, for adult audiences. These events are programmed during
the three school half terms each year, with usually three evening
events per half term. The performances of storytelling are
occasionally preceded by pre-show talks. The Pit Theatre is an
award winning black box theatre, which seats approximately 180
people (depending on the seating configuration).
