"Provocative, unnerving, thought-provoking, and Albee-esque,

THE LOVERS KISS grabs you and never lets go!"

-Angela Hatcher, Theatre Critic, OC, LA

​

Two killers. One app. True love can be murder.

Wendy and Ted have just had the perfect first date. They like the same wine. The same art. They even share an obsession with René Magritte’s The Lovers. The chemistry is undeniable. It seems an online dating site has finally accomplished the impossible: brought together two people who are absolutely made for each other.

But back at Wendy’s apartment, flirtation takes a darker turn. A scarf tightens. A tie follows. And before the evening is over, Wendy and Ted discover they have something far more unusual in common than their taste in art.

They’ve each been looking for love.

They’ve each been looking for victims.

And now they’ve found each other.

THE LOVERS KISS is a wickedly funny, macabre one-act about romance, obsession and the terrifying possibility that somewhere out there really is someone for everyone. The play culminates in a delicious visual homage to Magritte’s The Lovers as this decidedly unconventional couple shares its first kiss.

 

1F; 1M. Approximately 15 minutes.
