“Of course – as you’ve no doubt guessed – there’s a big ‘But Then’ moment heading this way…” It’s a sunny, spring day in East London. On a street corner, two teenagers kiss. One of them is Toni. This is her first kiss. But someone is watching. Someone who doesn’t care about her happiness at all. Arcola Theatre presents the live premiere of Philip Ridley’s Tarantula. A startling exploration of identity, memory, love, and the lengths it takes someone to free themselves from the web of their past.
It makes her very happy.
And they’re about to change Toni’s life… forever.
