Time Out says
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 blur easily beneath the dazzling haze of the spotlights.
It is the first day of rehearsal for the long-forgotten melodrama The Last Kiss. Enter a plot twist. Art imitates life as the two leading actors share an explosive romantic history of their own. With opening night approaching, a passionate affair may be waiting in the wings.
Two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl’s brilliant romantic comedy makes its UK premiere, following a critically acclaimed New York run in 2014. Stage Kiss is directed by Blanche McIntyre and marks their second collaboration, following the successful Downstairs production Letters from Max in 2025. McIntyre’s credits also include The Assembled Parties, Apex Predator and the record-breaking The Invention of Love.
