'Stage Kiss' at Hampstead Theatre
“Stage Kiss is a whole lot of fun, full of as much passion for the arts as a slow and sensual snog.” ★★★★ All That Dazzles
Sarah Ruhl’s romantic comedy ‘Stage Kiss’, with music by Grant Olding, is now on at the Hampstead Theatre.
Lauren and Humphrey; Elizabeth and Richard; Brad and Angelina. It’s famously hard for actors to keep romance under wraps after the director shouts ‘cut’. Fact and fiction are so easily blurred under the dazzling haze of the spotlights.
It’s the first day of rehearsal for long-forgotten melodrama, The Last Kiss. Enter – a plot twist. Art imitates life, as our two leading actors have an explosive romantic history of their own. With opening night approaching, a passionate affair may be waiting in the wings…
“…zigzagging, joyfully absurd with the right amount of twists.” ★★★★ Time Out London
