In The World in Ripeness (p. 120), Bates writes that he followed his play Day of Glory "with a dark, Ibsen-like piece called The Spider Love...but its demands on actors are incontestably formidable and it is probably for this reason that it has never been performed."

A typescript (pp. 139) is held at the Museum of the English Rural Life at the University of Reading (https://merl.reading.ac.uk/wp-...).
