23Jun
By Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre and Unicorn Theatre today announce the full cast for Anansi the Spider by Justin Audibert, directed by Robin Belfield. Anansi the Spider plays at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre on the theatre lawn for ages 4+ and their families from 15 August – 6 September.
Belfield directs Cynthia Emeagi (Narrator 1), Elizabeth Peace (Narrator 3), and Becky Sanneh (Narrator 2), and Mira Morrison (Understudy) in these classic West African and Caribbean folk tales about the mischievous spider who triumphs over larger foes.
Robin Belfield, Director, said: "I'm delighted to re-spin the beautiful stories of Anansi at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Celebrating the oral storytelling traditions and Afro-Caribbean heritage, what better place to weave the magic of these stories than under the trees at Regent's Park."
Drew McOnie, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre Artistic Director, said: “We are delighted to be working with the Unicorn Theatre for a third time, following our successful co-productions of The Tempest re-imagined for everyone aged six and over (2023) and Anansi the Spider (2021). I can't wait to welcome younger audiences to the theatre lawn to see this mischievous spider weave his magic once again.”
