The Kiss Of The Spider Woman is based on a novel written by Manuel Puig. This novel later became a play, then a movie and finally a musical.
The musical is written by John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago).

What happens when two people with diametrically opposed backgrounds and experiences have to share a cell for an unknown amount of time, maybe for the rest of their lives? This is a story of two men who share a jail cell in Argentina. A story of survival.

The Kiss Of The Spider Woman is playing at The Göteborg Opera's small stage until the 30th mars 2002.
