Crick Crack Club: The Three Snake Leaves

The Crick Crack Club, the UK’s boldest and busiest storytelling programmer and promoter, creating worlds in the imaginations of its audiences, returns to Kings Place to present ‘The Three Snake Leaves’, fairytales for grown-ups from the Grimm forest.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

A father and daughter sit beside a fire in the snow; a bride is bricked up in a tower; marvels gleam in the half-light, and the mysterious snake leaves bring transformation.

The dark and unexpected pasts of three dishevelled travellers lost in a forest are untangled in this subtle and beguiling fairytale for grown-ups. Seamlessly interweaving a dozen of Grimm’s lesser-known stories, three of the most popular and highly respected contemporary performance storytellers working in the UK today, **Ben Haggarty**, **Hugh Lupton**, and **Sally Pomme Clayton**, and extraordinary musician **Sheema Mukherjee**, embark on an enchanted search for truth.

Shot through with evocative music and luminous beauty, this is a show about what it is to be a human.

*This performance will last approximately 2 hours 15 minutes, including an interval.*

Suitable for adults (16+)

**Content:** This performance contains descriptions of or references to death, incest, mutilation, rape, and maternal mortality contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype, and metaphor.

Presented by Kings Place.
