Alistair Campbell’s Anansi to air on radio

The cover of the published play

The dramatic play Anansi by Alistair Campbell will shortly be broadcast on radio. This is significant because although the drama has been in existence since 1990, it was not in very active circulation in the Caribbean until recently, and mostly because it has been placed on the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) syllabus. It rocketed to attention around the region when it became one of the prescribed texts for study in the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate – English B (Literature) in 2022.

The National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD) in collaboration with the National Drama Company (NDC) will present the play Anansi dramatised for radio by the NDC. It will be broadcast on the Learning Channel as a joint production of the NDC and the Distance Education and Information Unit, known as EdYou FM on which it will be aired.
