Unicorn Theatre's Beloved Family Show Returns To London This Summer

The Unicorn Theatre's critically acclaimed family show follows up its multiple sell-out runs with a return to London, weaving its web at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in August 2026! Mixing multiple beloved folk stories featuring the ingenious - and mischievous - arachnid, Anansi The Spider is a triumph of brains over brawn that the whole family will adore.

What Is The Story?

In a time long past, when animals could speak to one another, Anansi the spider was the greatest intellect in the world. Or so he liked to tell himself. A brilliant storyteller, but also an unrepentant trickster, Anansi's smarts would often lead to trouble. Weaving together three classic tales from West African and Caribbean folklore, Anansi strives to test his wiles on the other animals - but finds that more people are a match for him than he could have thought.
