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
