Anansi: The Trickster Spider
Based on the West African fable of Anansi, the play tells the story of a "brave" spider's desire to bring stories into the world and the difficult challenges he faces achieving his goal.  Like Brer Rabbit in America, Anansi is a 'trickster' figure - clever, cunning, sometimes mischievous - who, although small, often outwits larger, stronger animals.  Sometimes he gets into trouble and outsmarts himself - especially when he gets greedy or too self-assured.  Fast-paced, farcical and funny, a delight for the whole family.  Appropriate for ages 4 and up.
