Introduction by Jillian Barker, Head of
Education at the Barbican Centre, to the five artists performing
- Jan Blake, Ben Haggarty, Pamela Marre, TUUP and Chirine El
Ansary, followed by a story told by Ben Haggarty. A story set in
the Garden of Eden after God had created the Earth, but before he
created man. As God rests, emotions run wild in the garden and
have a game of hide and seek, resulting in love being blinded and
hence forth being guided by madness.

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).
