Kissy Kissy

Performers Sarah-Jane St Clair and Mark Winter begin this show in the front row of the audience. Winter begins a repetitive catalogue of attractive physical characteristics ("nice legs, nice neck, nice eyes") at a microphone, as St Clair paces the room. Eventually, they're both sitting on the bed, flipping through signs, in the manner of Bob Dylan in the Subterranean Homesick Blues clip.

What follows is the entire history of a romance and relationship, from tentative fumblings in a dance club through jealousy, arguments and reconciliation. There's little dialogue, the couple have recourse (he especially) to the microphone from time to time, including when they're under the covers. It's all very cleverly suggested and energetically enacted.

Both characters make full use of the very limited space, including a window that opens on to Smith Street, from which Winter sings a barely audible song to St Clair. Music is an important element of the performance; highlights include Dean Martin's Cha Cha Cha D'Amour, and an outstanding rendition of The Bangles' Eternal Flame.

Above all, this is a funny show that makes some serious and sometimes painful observations, but never at the cost of taking itself too seriously. The impro element means that there are some creaky bits, but they hardly matter. An inventive and clever piece.
