Black Widow: Sex, Bugs & a High Death Toll
An eight legged diva, with the voice of an angel and a cannibalistic habit. Arachnophobes encouraged.
"Knight is a great talent and Black Widow is a cabaret well-worth being caught by" ★★★★ Arts Hub, VIC
WINNER Best Cabaret & Musical Theatre, Sydney Fringe, NSW
This salacious musical cabaret with Queen Cannibal, mother of all spiders and the reason Daddy Longlegs got his name, Black Widow, will titillate and terrify.
Expect songs you know love but sung with a twist, spidery banter and the best eight legs in the business - this is a web you'll want to be caught in.
"Wickedly funny" - Rosana Bouzas, NSW
“Enthralling” - Hugging Comedians, VIC
"Absolutely captivating and fascinating to watch" - My Melbourne Arts, VIC
