Don’t miss this thoughtful modern romantic fairy tale…which ReAct first staged in 1994 to critical and box office success. The New York Times had this to say about the play when it was performed recently on Broadway.
But Mr. Lucas was writing at the end of a decade in which AIDS had ravaged the gay population. Young men were almost literally turning into old men overnight, as the disease ran its relentless course largely unchecked by medicine. So while it ends as fairy tales tend to, “Prelude to a Kiss” is steeped in the ache of loss and a sorrowful awareness that life’s joys can be as fleeting as its griefs are unavoidable. It is a romantic comedy of an oddly brokenhearted kind.
