ALT B: SPIDERS by Martha Godber – Rehearsed Reading

Hull. 2014. Join 17 year old Gabi and Meg on a night out you won’t forget.

Every Saturday night, they escape the monotony of their daily college lives by immersing themselves in the gritty atmosphere of emo nightclub ‘Spiders’ in Hull.

“Spiders” is a poignant exploration of female friendship, love, and the darkness that lurks beneath the surface of adolescence. Set against the backdrop of an often Northern city, the play exposes the fragility of youth and the lengths we’ll go to protect those we love.
