Ruhl’s loving tribute to and sendup of theater, STAGE KISS is a charmingly “wink-wink” combination of romantic fantasy and backstage farce. Two actors with a steamy past are cast as lovers in an overwrought 1930s melodrama. After the pair share an infamous stage kiss – or two or three – reality evaporates, onstage blurs with offstage, and art and life, and love, all become just a little jumbled!
