Itsy Bitsy Spider
by Christopher Rodriguez
directed and choreographed by Paul J Medford

Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
2 - 3 January 2002

A British re-telling of the trickster spider's adventures as Anansi stands against the ship of state - the wind.

A spectacle of song, dance, poetry and performance, Talawa's 'Anansi' is a collaboration of prominent artists to give new life to the age old art of story telling for young and old alike.

Accessible and fun, rich and honest, this is Anansi for the new millennium as the trickster makes his way into Britain.
