Theatre: Kiss of the Spider Woman
(2008)
H O M E B I O R E E L R E S U M E C O N T A C T M O R EBased on the novel by Manuel Puig, "Kiss of the Spider Woman"
revamps a tale of persecution into a spectacle that juxtaposes gritty
realities with liberating fantasies. Thrown together in a Latin American
prison, Valentin is a tough revolutionary being tortured for political
information and Molina is serving eight years for deviant behavior.
Molina shares his fantasies about a movie actress, Aurora, with Valentin
to help him mentally escape prison horrors - one in particular - is her
role as a Spider Woman who kills with a kiss. Two unlikely cellmates,
Valentine and Molina play cat-and-mouse as they struggle to survive.
Joshua joins this terrific cast as the Standby Cover for Valentine.
Director Nick DeGruccio and Choreographer Lee Martino create an
intimate chamber piece with this brilliant musical, accompanied by a live
six-member orchestra, bringing the action of the show literally close
enough to touch.
