About Tarantula at the Arcola Theatre in London

It's a fresh, sunny Spring day in East London. 

Two teenagers are kissing on a street corner.

One of them is Toni - and this is her very first kiss. She's very happy about it. 

But across the street, someone is watching... someone who doesn't care about her happiness. 

And they're about to change her life forever

Don't get caught up in the web of shocking twists and turns. 

“A new play by Philip Ridley is always a cause for celebration.” – Neil Norman
