Tony Award-winning director Julie Taymor (Across The Universe, Frida, The Lion King on Broadway) casts a startling new light on this hero's journey.

SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, the arachnid-bitten superhero who learns that with great power comes great responsibility as villains test not only his physical strength, but his strength of character.

Drawing from over 40 years of Marvel comic books and three blockbuster Hollywood films for inspiration writer Taymor along with playwright Glen Berger (Underneath the Lintel, The Wooden Breeks) recreate the mythic tale.
