‘Of course – as you’ve no doubt guessed – there’s a big ‘But Then’ moment heading this way…’

 

Aria Entertainment announces the world premiere of Philip Ridley’s one-woman show Tarantula which will be streamed live from the Southwark Playhouse on 30 April and 1 May 2021

 

Tarantula stars Georgie Henley (The Chronicles of Narnia) who made her professional stage debut in Ridley’s Angry in 2017.

 

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.
It makes her very happy.

 

But someone is watching.
Someone who doesn’t care about her happiness at all.
And they’re about to change Toni’s life… forever.

 

Philip Ridley’s thrilling new play is a startling exploration of identity, memory, love,
and the lengths it takes someone to free themselves from the web of their past.
