One man longs to be loved and builds his world around films.
The other is a revolutionary who distrusts the world around him after suffering for too long.
Between them, an imaginary woman wields her magic and turns the impossible into the possible.
He who craves to be loved turns himself into the woman, and he who thought he had no place for love finds himself emotionally drawn to the her.
In their claustrophobic prison cell, caught between the fictitious and the real, the two finally learn to discard fear, betrayal, disgust, and find love, the spirit of sacrifice, and the true beauty in humanity.
Kiss of the Spider Woman is based on a 1976 novel by Manuel Puig. It has been adapted for the big screen, the stage and as a Broadway musical. In every form it has been performed, people have loved it. So have the critics. Among its many accoclades are a Tony Award, an Oscar® for Best Actor (Male Lead), Golden Globe nominations, and Best Actor (Male Lead) Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
