The Company of Storytellers (C.O.S.T) was formed in March/April
1985 with the expressed aim of performing storytelling for adult
audiences. C.O.S.T was actually formed during a tour in East
Anglia by Sally Pomme Clayton, Hugh Lupton and Ben Haggarty. The
official launch of COST was in 1986 at Common Stock Theatre,
London. At this point the members of C.O.S.T were Sally Pomme
Clayton, TUUP, Ben Haggarty, Daisy Keable, Hugh Lupton. However
TUUP and Daisy Keable did not remain in the group and it is as a
trio of storytellers, Ben Haggarty, Hugh Lupton and Sally Pomme
Clayton, that C.O.S.T is publicly known. C.O.S.T was disbanded in
1999, but periodically reforms to perform the Three Snake Leaves.
The two seminal pieces developed and performed by C.O.S.T were
The Three Snake Leaves and I Become Part of It.
