Kiss of the Spiderwoman

By Manuel Puig. A Tangerine Theatre review

THIS year's Glasgay festival has embraced the post-porn lesbian romancing of Annie Sprinkle, the chat-room forays of Tim Fountain and the hairdresser confessions of Adrian Howells in Salon: Adrienne. But its co-production of Manuel Puig's Kiss of the Spiderwoman is particularly pertinent. It is an austere staging of a play that challenges camp culture cliches.
