Black Widow: Sex, Bugs & A High Death Toll
 

Part woman, part spider, all cannibalistic blood lust. Arachnophobes encouraged. 

Black Widow: Sex, Bugs & A High Death Toll is a sensual and salacious cabaret with Queen Cannibal, mother of all spiders and the reason Daddy Longlegs got his name, Black Widow. Be enveloped in her web of lust, lunacy and love?

A dynamic dive into the original femme fatale’s world as she grieves, digests and gets back on the hunt.
 

'Knight's performance… is absolutely captivating and fascinating to watch.' My Melbourne Arts

'Knight is a great talent and Black Widow is a cabaret well-worth being caught by.' ★★★★ Arts Hub

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
