Britain's leading Black Theatre Company, Talawa, brings West Africa's favourite folk-tale character Anansi to inner-city London in this holiday musical which guarantees fabulous fun for the whole family.
Itsy Bitsy Spider: Anansi Steals the Wind follows the story of Anansi, the trickster spider on his journey to confront the mighty wind who has taken one of Anansi's children. A tale of daring, power and fun, in a world where the very small use their cunning to outwit the very big.
Itsy Bitsy's unique combination of award winning writers and superb musical compositions from blues to pop to reggae make this a magical evening of storytelling, dance, song and laughter as the trickster makes his way through the streets of London.
