Theatre - The Kiss

Finishing up today after an extended run, the Kiss at Belvoir Streets downstairs theatre is as I found on another review:

take four short stories of the same title, The Kiss, by four different writers and deliver them to the downstairs Belvoir stage unabridged and “untampered” with.

It's an interesting approach and it's not so much a play but four stories mashed up. I enjoyed some stories more than others which I think most would, however the lengths of some stories is very interesting. Some of short and sweet but one in particular was extremely long and drawn out.

The four cast are strong and good in all their different roles.

It was a little long for a downstairs play at Belvoir Street and the change in tone in all the stories and the mash is very weird at times. There is no real link between the four stories except their title.

In the end this was okay, nothing to write home about and it rates 2 kiss worthy stars.
