Introduction, followed by story told by Jeorg
Baesecke; illustrated using torn paper. A brother and sister live
together. When food become short the brother leaves to find food,
leaving the sister in charge of the fire. She falls to sleep and
lets the fire go out. The sister then goes to seek fire and finds
a tent with an old women with huge ears sleeping inside. She asks
for fire and the women grants it, but when the girl return homes
with the fire, she finds that the women has tied a thread to her
dress so that she can follow her home. The girl breaks the thread
and runs away. The women comes to the tent and seeks out the
girl. Just as the women is about to catch the girl, the brother
appears. The women transforms herself into a horse; then into a
hare, but is killed and her stomach bursts open releasing all the
people she had eaten. Some of the released people are happy, some
are cross at being released.

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).
