Stop Kiss

Synopsis:
When Callie, a twenty-something New York traffic reporter, promises to take on a cat owned by Sara, "some friend of an old friend of someone," she arranges to leave quickly after Sara drops off the cat so that she doesn't get drawn into a dull evening with a stranger. Callie is an expert at avoiding conflict, which serves her well in the city. Sara, on the other hand, has willingly left her job at a Quaker school in St. Louis to teach third-graders in the Bronx. Although both are "straight" women, they circle each other warily, nursing an unspoken attraction. the playwright's choice to shuttle back and forth in time, between the hospital room and police station and the early days of Callie and Sara's friendship, lends a bittersweet quality to even their lightest exchanges, allowing us to wonder, along with the two women, whether the violent outcome of their single kiss makes it a bad idea.

Notes:
"(It is A political play) in the sense that politics is A way of looking At events that happen to people. I would never personally say 'This is A play About homophobia. This is A play About gay bashing. This is A play About the civil rights of gays And lesbians in America.' I would describe the play As A love story." - Diana Son
