women who marries and moves away from her family. When her father
becomes ill, her brother comes to her and asks her to pay him a
visit. The women, her husband and brother set off on a journey.
On the way they come to a shrine in a cave. One by one, the
husband and brother enter the cave to pray, and become so taken
by their devotion that they both kill themselves. On discovering
this, the women decides to also take her own life, but she hears
a voice which instructs her to go into the cave and place the
heads of her brother and husband back on their bodies. She does
so and the two men are resurrected, but when they exit the cave
into the light, she finds that she has placed the wrong head on
the wrong body. The dilemma is, who should she give her love
to?

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).

Performing in the programme The Dynamics of Love were Ben
