|
| A story and praise song for Jenny Wing, who used to babysit for Hugh Lupton and his syblings when they were children, told by Hugh Lupton and accompanied in music and song by Chris Wood. The story is based on the experiences of Jenny Wing as a child; the folklore of the horse; a young girl's experiences of horses, their theft and return, and of leaving them when she goes into service. The story uses the saying 'if wishes were horses'. | |

|
| The piece was created by Hugh Lupton following the death of Jenny Wing, and was in part, in response to the funeral of Jenny Wing, where the vicar knew very little about the deceased. | |

| 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). | |
