“Suffused with warmth and humor. Sarah Ruhl frothily whips together romantic comedy and backstage farce in this lively comedy about a pair of actors—delightfully portrayed by Jessica Hecht and Dominic Fumusa—who find life and art mixing together when they rekindle an old romance during rehearsals for a play. It is nimbly directed by Rebecca Taichman.”
-NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS PICK
“A GIFT AND A RARITY: a superb new romantic comedy that’s moving, smart, and flat-out hilarious. The brilliant Jessica Hecht gives a career-redefining performance. Dominic Fumusa’s performance is a perfectly calibrated poor-man’s Cary Grant. Rebecca Taichman’s superbly breakneck direction never lets up. You will have difficulty breathing. Stage Kiss is that funny.”
– NEW YORK MAGAZINE
“NON-STOP ENTERTAINMENT. A crazy adorable script by Sarah Ruhl. Director Rebecca Taichman seamlessly directs a wonderful cast. Stage Kiss is a gem. Don’t miss it.”
– HUFFINGTON POST
“FOUR STARS. Sarah Ruhl delivers a brilliant comedy that aims for big laughs and hits its target. Jessica Hecht’s riotous performance will easily rank among the year’s best. Funny: There’s nothing like it.”
