What links the Krankies and two European performance artists who once tied themselves together by the hair? Both reveal the power - and passion - of creative couples.

For a time, Marina Abramovi莽 and Ulay were inseparable. These two performance artists breathed the same oxygen, got naked together and called each other 鈥淕lue.鈥� But what should have been their greatest joint achievement - walking from opposite ends of the Great Wall of China to meet in the middle - ended up tearing them apart.

For two decades, Great Lives on Radio 4 has explored what it takes to change the world. But Helen Lewis wants to ask a different question: what does it take to live with someone who changes the world? In the second season of Great Wives, we鈥檒l meet more fascinating women - and men - and uncover the relationships that created great art, started wars and changed history.

Written and performed by Helen Lewis with additional voices from Kudzanayi Chiwawa & Joshua Higgott
