Please note: Melbourne Fringe’s ticket allocation is exhausted, for tickets visit the Butterfly Club website. Have you ever seen a half woman, half spider, with the voice of an angel and the mind of a sinner? No? Well, you are in luck because Arachne (Black Widow) is spinning her web over Melbourne in search of her next lover. There's only one thing getting in her way... cannibalistic blood lust. The mother of all spiders is looking for a lover who can quench her thirst. This one-spider cabaret show is packed full of flirtatious banter, outrageous outfits and iconic songs. If you love the songs of Christina Aguilera, Alice Cooper or Etta James then you’ll love this show. You’ll leave with a whole new appreciation for the phrase “not here to f*#% spiders!”. Could you be the lover who finally changes Arachne’s venomous ways? Can nurture really overcome nature?
