A play about a grandad and his granddaughter is coming to Curve Venue.
Grandad Anansi will be at Curve Venue on Tuesday 28 October at 2pm.
The play follows Abi and her grandad as they tell each other Anasi folktales, play games, and share secrets while working in the garden.
Grandad, as smart and mischievous as the wily Anansi legend, must find a way to tell Abi about his plans to return to Jamaica, his beloved homeland.
The play is written by award-winning children's author Elayne Ogbeta, who works with theatre companies Z-arts and Half-moon.
She said: "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."
The character of Anansi, part human, part spider, features in many West African and Caribbean folk stories.
He is a symbol of black history, a reminder of the slave trade and the struggle many Africans faced.
The play promises to be a humorous and heartfelt adventure, celebrating storytelling and Jamaican culture.
Tickets are £12, £10 under 16s, and Family and Friends (4 people) £40.
