DRAMAC is pleased to present its production of "Stop, Kiss" by Diana Son, by arrangement with Music Theatre International Australaisa Pty Ltd, on behalf of Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

Play Synopsis:

Sara and Callie are walking through New York City's West Village very late at night, when they share their first kisses. This leads to an attack by an angry bystander, in which Sara is injured. She falls into a coma, which becomes one of the major subjects of the play. George, Callie's good friend, tries to help with the situation, but there is little he can do. Peter, Sara's ex-boyfriend from St. Louis, comes to help nurse her back to health. Throughout Stop Kiss, relationships are explored, formed, and even ended. Diana Son elaborates on the depths of human emotion and compassion in this play.

The story is told out of chronological order: alternating scenes take place respectively before and after the assault, which is not shown onstage.
