KISS

Devised

Performed by BA (Hons) Acting (Musical Theatre)

Designed by MFA Scenography

Produced by BA (Hons) Theatre Practice

Written by MA Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media

KISS is a devised gig-theatre show that invites us into a world where Love can be taken as a pill. What if we could administer a Love pill to couples in need to rekindle their relationship? What if we could treat perpetrators of hate crimes with this pill? And what if we summoned the UN to consider a Love bomb replacing the A-bomb ? 

With some funky, jazzy and sexy tunes, this show celebrates our aching need for more love and the values that bring us closer.

Suitable for ages 15+ years.
