A Unicorn Theatre and Regent's Park Open Air Theatre Production
People say that in a time long, long ago, animals walked on two feet and spoke with words, like we do. And back then, everyone knew that the cleverest of all the animals in the kingdom was a spider – the infamous Anansi – the original trickster and the master spinner of yarns.
But sometimes Anansi could be a little too clever for his own good…
Following sold-out runs at the Unicorn Theatre in 2023 and 2025, these classic West African and Caribbean folk tales about the mischievous spider who triumphs over larger foes are brought vividly to life by Unicorn Associate Director Robin Belfield.
The show takes place on the theatre lawn. All you will need is a blanket to sit on and a curious heart.
Originally produced by the Unicorn Theatre and Birmingham Rep in 2025/2026
