Midland Players have been a staple of the Sheffield amateur theatre scene for over 40 years. Join them this September for the witty and insightful modern comedy Stage Kiss, from acclaimed contemporary playwright Sarah Ruhl.
Being prepared to engage in intimacies such as romantic kissing is part of any actor’s job, if audiences are to imagine they are seeing real life presented on the stage and not just a performance. Is it possible, however, to be so physically intimate with another person, through weeks of rehearsal and night after night of performance, without coming to feel a real romantic connection?
When a married actress returns to the stage following ‘a break’, only to unexpectedly find herself cast as the romantic partner of a former lover, stage-kisses rekindle old flames. The boundaries between what is acted and what is real grow blurred, with hilarious consequences.
