Anansi & the Lost Sun

by Swallow’s Wings Puppetry

November 16th, 17th, 23rd and 24th at 11am and 2pm

"Darkness covers the face of the land. 
Lion needed someone to bring back the Sun.
Who will succeed? 
The Powerful Eagle? 
The Clever Monkey?
Or Anansi and his mates?"

The "Anansi" stories are humorous, lively, and community-led stories that traveled with enslaved African people to the Caribbean and then to the UK with the Windrush generation. They are part of our multicultural British heritage and have a universal appeal to all people.
