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

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
