Anansi: An African Fairy Tale How To Be Female Starving NecrophiliaAnansi: An African Fairy Tale
Synopsis:
Once upon a time in a rural village in Ghana, Nyame, the powerful Sky God steals all the stories and locks them up in a wooden box under his bed, leaving the inhabitants of the village with nothing. everyone has lost all hope of getting them back until bold anansi takes on the perilous task of confronting the Sky God. In this lively alternative to the traditional Christmas show, everything hinges on the completion of an impossible quest, forcing a small but brave spider to confront her uncertainties and find hope in the most unexpected of places. This brand new play, based on research into traditional West African and Caribbean folklore, explores the joyous creative power of story-telling. a vividly textured and timely festive offering, it will delight seasoned theatre goers and family audiences alike.

Synopsis:
Lucy is looking for Prince Charming, but is shocked to meet, instead, a gorgeous blonde with an attitude problem. Jane, on the other hand, isn t looking for anyone, but is surprised to meet John, a self-proclaimed male lesbian. Meanwhile Lev is searching for the scientific secret behind "pulling hot girls". . .will they each find what they are looking for in the shelves of the bookstore where Lucy and Jane work? How To Be Female is a modern comedy about the embarrassment of society's sex rituals and the struggle to maintain any sort of gender identity in a world that has to simultaneously juggle Cosmopolitan, Germaine Greer and the residual effects of the CinderElla fairy tale.
