Kiss of the Spider Woman

The Worx Productions returns to Bristol and the Redgrave Theatre with this Tony Award-winning musical, with a brilliant book by Terrence McNally and a dynamic score by Kander & Ebb.

Kiss of the Spider Woman revamps a harrowing tale of persecution into a dazzling spectacle that juxtaposes gritty reality with liberating fantasy. Compelling, beautiful, Funny and Moving the show tell the story of cell mates in a Latin American prison. Valentin is a tough revolutionary enduring torture and Molina is an unabashed homosexual serving eight years for deviant behavior. Over time, the men begin to connect as Molina shares his fantasies about an actress, Aurora, who famously portrayed a Spider Woman who can kill with a kiss.

Kiss of the Spiderwoman won William Hurt an Oscar award in the film version and was portrayed by Chita Rivera on the West end and Broadway and the musical is soon to be released on film starring Jennifer Lopez.
