About the Book

In a valley, nestled between two hills, is a small village and a world of magic to explore.
 Join Grandmother's Daughter and her friends on an enchanting journey of discovery. Featuring puppetry, song and dance, The African Magician is a celebration of child's play in a different culture. Originally written in Arabic by Australian-Sudanese playwright Afeif Ismail, the play is performed in English and combines the atmosphere of African street performance with contemporary narrative theatre. Puppetry, mask, dance and original African music transport audiences to Sudan. The three actors play the children, villagers, animals and spirits, and encourage audience members to join in the celebration of traditional African culture.
