Obie Award-winner David Cale’s Palomino was a critical and audience hit in 2009. He now returns to the Rep with his newest work, The History of Kisses. A writer who sequesters himself in an oceanfront motel to finish his collection of seaside stories is drawn into the romantic and sexual goings-on around him. From the tender confessions of lost lovers, to a sea-shanty singer, to the surprising encounters that define modern love, The History of Kisses is a passionate and hilarious exploration of what it means to fall in love by the sea.
Student tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the Central Ticket Office or online.
