Kiss of the Spider Woman
From the legendary creators of Cabaret and ChicagoObsession or salvation? One kiss from the Spider Woman can change everything.
From the legendary creators of Cabaret and Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman returns in an electrifying new co-production from Curve, Bristol Old Vic and Mayflower Southampton.
In a brutal prison, Molina – condemned for his sexuality, and Valentin – a political prisoner, are forced into an unlikely friendship in the cell they share. To escape their harsh reality, Molina conjures dazzling fantasies of glamorous movies, spinning tales of the seductive and dangerous Spider Woman. As their conditions worsen and the line between truth and fiction blurs, the two men find a deeper connection – one that could cost them everything.
Adapted for the stage by Terrence McNally from Manuel Puig’s unforgettable novel, the original Broadway production of Kiss of the Spider Woman won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score.
Now, in its first major UK revival since 1992, this daring new production is directed by Paul Foster (A Little Night Music, Watermill Theatre and Kiss Me, Kate Sheffield Crucible) and stars the phenomenal George Blagden (BBC's Versailles, Netflix's Black Mirror), Anna-Jane Casey (Caberet, Billy Elliot) and Layton Williams (Titanique, Everybody's Talking About Jamie).
