Prelude to a Kiss

Prelude to a Kiss is a strange, funny, quietly profound love story that asks what we’re really signing up for when we say yes to another person. When a young couple’s wedding day is interrupted by a mysterious kiss that quite literally changes everything, the play unfolds into a deeply human exploration of identity, mortality, and what it means to love someone beyond the surface. Written in the shadow of the AIDS crisis, it carries the echo of a generation watching young lives collide with illness and time in ways that felt both surreal and devastating. And yet, it never loses its sense of humor or wonder, it’s tender, a little absurd, and sneakily emotional. You leave thinking less about fairy tales and more about the radical, complicated act of choosing to love someone exactly as they are, for as long as you get.
