It is written by Elayne Ogbeta, mum to Commonwealth bronze medal winner Naomi Metzger and Swansea City defender Nathanael Ogbeta.
Touring from September 29, with its première at Z-arts in Manchester, it’s a children’s show for Black History Month. Grandad Anansi is a playful celebration of love between generations and the joy of storytelling. Written for children aged 4–9, it shines a light on Jamaican culture and the Windrush generation.
