An uplifting tale of love, courage and letting go.
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?
Join our intrepid characters as they step into the unexpected in this humorous and heartfelt inter-generational adventure. With captivating songs and joyous dancing, 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 a Half Moon and Z-arts co-production.

Elayne Ogbeta’s warm, pleasing and thoughtful show...manages to pack in more layers than a good strudel…. Storytelling, and its extraordinary power, is at the centre of the piece.
