About Anansi the Spider

The greatest tales ever spun

★★★★★ ‘Superlative family theatre is pure joy and delight’ The Stage

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 a sold-out run in 2023, 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.

A Unicorn Theatre and Birmingham Rep production
