Tricksters

An urban fairytale told by five audience members with no performers on the stage.

This is the story of a Coyote who fell in love with the Moon.

It’s a tale of romance, mystery and adventure as Coyote encounters the Tricksters. He seeks out Anansi the Spider, follows Eshu of the Crossroads, all the while pursued by agents of the Department for the Protection of How Things Should Be.

It’s a dead exciting story, honest.
The trouble is, no-one seems to be around to tell it…
