The story of Anansi and his trickster family is put into a sleek hip hop context for Hip Hop Anansi, a modern, all-ages adaptation of a traditional Ashanti folktale. Anansi wants the Golden Fly Pie Award for Tricksterism and is not above outwitting his own family to win it. But his rhyming, break dancing, graffiti-ing children are ready to claim the prize in their own right. Paige Hernandez, Associate Artistic Director of Everyman Theatre in Baltimore, directs this new vision of a classic African folk tale as penned by the acclaimed actress, playwright and singer-songwriter Eisa Davis.
