=0D=0A=Play Synopsis
=0D=0A=Trickster spirit Fox has stolen Anansi the Spider God’s Web of story and dream. Now Fox can rewrite every dream ever dreamt and every story ever told, reshaping the world to the whims of his cruel nightmares. To save the world from Fox's destructive vision, Anansi enlists the help of Bugaboo, a compassionate human child plagued by nightmares. Together, Bugaboo must learn to harness the ancient power of Dream Weaving, travel through the world of dreams, and repair Anansi’s web, before it’s too late.
=0D=0A=Can Bugaboo master the magic of Dream Weaving to unlock the revolutionary power that lives within them? Or will Fox’s dream destroy the world? Dreamweavers by Adonis Critter King is a brand-new play for young audiences that blends Jamaican, West African, and British folklore and fables into an adventure story with an Afro-surrealist twist.
