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

     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    A Mirror | Belvoir
    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
