"The Leopard and The Drum" - A family showsuitable for nursery, reception and primary aged children.

Osebo the Leopard had the biggest and loudest drum in the whole of the rain forest. He was the envy of all the other animals but the only problem was that he wouldn’t let anyone have a go on his drum, not even Nyame the sky god. Who will bring Nyame the Sky God Osebo’s big and loud drum? Will it be the elephant, monkey, snake or tortoise? A traditional Ashante tale brought to life through inter-active music, drama and dance.
