Get ready to meet Grandad Anansi! This award winning show is coming to Wellingborough this October, and tickets are FREE for Corby and Wellingborough residents.Abi and her Grandad tell each other Anansi folktales. They play games and share secrets as they work together in the garden.
Grandad is as smart and mischievous as the wily Anansi legend, a part human, part spider and the subject of many West African and Caribbean folk stories. Can he find a way to tell his granddaughter about his plans to return to Jamaica, his beloved homeland?
Grandad Anansi is an uplifting tale of love, courage and letting go that celebrates storytelling and shines a light on Jamaican culture and the Windrush generation.
Written by award-winning children’s author Elayne Ogbeta, Grandad Anansi is an exciting collaboration by Half Moon and Z-arts that we are delighted to present during Black History Month.
