Encore

Written and translated by Marc Prescott
Staged by Jack Paterson
Featuring France Perras and Art Kitching

“It would be a poet’s kiss. Passionate. Intoxicating. Exalting…It will break the mold of all the other kisses that preceded it…”

A couple chart their 50‐year relationship by recreating their first encounter every anniversary. They yearn to be seduced by the exact words of their first encounter but time has changed the meanings. Sad, funny, romantic and lovingly bittersweet.
