Break my heart, Lee Lawing! Just smash it to pieces, why don't you?

A masterful memory play, THE KISS looks at lost love, lost memories, along with yearning and regret that stretches across oceans of time. Masterfully structured with memories folding in on one other as narrators immerse themselves into their pasts, as themselves and others, speaking all the things they should have said but didn't, couldn't, or did but the other person wasn't ready to hear.

It's a tiny epic. And it wrecks me.

This was an incredibly touching short piece. The intimacy and the sadness made these characters come alive with a delicacy, a sensitivity, and an empathy that is hard to achieve with nine pages. Still, this playwright manages to make it all come together. As a gay man, this piece is devastating, but still loving. We feel the emotional sting, but are soothed by the love of the play. Can't wait to read more from Lawing.

I simply love this play! Lawing's heartfelt and moving portrayal of a man remembering and saying goodbye to a long ago love is amazing. This play is a wonderful showcase for older and younger actors and is a gem for any theatre that produces it.
