Crick Crack Club: Performance StorytellingPerformed by Ben HaggartyWith music and song by Sianed Jones
Enter a world of feverish dreaming, as storyteller Ben Haggarty and musician Sianed Jones present an intense steam punk interpretation of Mary Shelley's modern myth.Two master performers explore the nature of the consciousness of a man made by man and the responsibility of the creator towards the created.Truly a story for our times, Frankenstein speaks of power unleashed and our fear of the unknown. Internationally renowned for his playful and dynamic performances, Ben Haggarty tells his stories with infectious charm and ease.Composer, multi-instrumentalist and singer Sianed Jones has been variously described as having a voice like that of a 'wailing Welsh banshee', a 'soft seducer' and a 'passionate revolutionary'.
