Stage Kiss
Guthrie Theatre
Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Recommended
"...Playwright Sarah Ruhl has an undeniable facility with language and character. She's been around the theater long enough to render portraits of goofy directors, insecure actresses and grown actors afflicted with Peter Pan Syndrome in a way that's pointed but affectionate. She adeptly and lovingly conveys the pace, tenor and language of a substandard 1930s drama. And she can have her characters wax philosophical -- about the difference between sex on stage and sex in the cinema, or about why marriage is like a tattoo -- with the ring of truth and without sounding pretentious or preachy."

How Was The Show- Recommended
"...The offbeat and many times unpredictable nature of the proceedings is delivered with a refreshing dose of dry irreverence. The show knows and reveres the tropes it mines, but it is also marked by a restless impulse to spice things up. That being said, the play never veers too far into unconventionality for its own sake, and doesn’t seem too in love with its own words."
