‘I snogged somebody for nine hours today’: Stage Kiss actors reveal what it’s really like kissing a co-star 03.06.2026

The Independent

The play "Stage Kiss," now at London's Hampstead Theatre, explores the complexities actors face when on-stage chemistry blurs with real-life relationships, mirroring the romantic past of its leads, MyAnna Buring and Patrick Kennedy. Both actors acknowledge the potential for real-life romance to develop from intense stage performances, with Kennedy admitting to a similar past situation. While not receiving formal training for kissing scenes, the production utilizes an intimacy coordinator, Yarit Dor, to manage physical scenes pragmatically and ensure consent, a practice that has become more prevalent and essential in the industry, especially since the #MeToo movement. The actors also joke about the practicalities of extensive kissing, including the risk of spreading germs, humorously attributing current symptoms to hayfever.
