Stage Kiss

The San Francisco Playhouse
450 Post Street San Francisco

When a pair of exes are thrown together as romantic leads in a long-forgotten 1930s melodrama, they quickly lose touch with reality as the onstage story begins to mirror their offstage lives. This warm and witty 2011 comedy, now taking the stage at the San Francisco Playhouse, is a thoroughly charming tale about what really happens when lovers share a stage kiss -- or when actors share a real one. Highly acclaimed playwright Sarah Ruhl was a 2010 Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony nominee for her prior work, In the Next Room, or the vibrator play.
