If you have a particular reason for wanting to watch the recording before it is publicly available, send a mail and we can discuss this.
My telling of this Korean tale is based on a posting by Eldrbarry on Storytell. There are many other versions on the internet.
More deep tales
The video gallery has become very extensive. So if you would enjoy more tales like this which explore the depths of the human psyche, here are a few suggestions.
The video clips here are all amateur quality, shot in various theatres or, as here, in my home studio.
Their intention is just to show the range of my storytelling and give a flavour of a live performance.
