Britain's What's On Event Guide
Kiss Marry Kill
AN ELECTRIFYING AND INTIMATE STORY OF FORBIDDEN LOVE.
I’m a monster. You can’t marry me’
Jay and Paul are both serving life sentences for homophobic murders. Incredibly, they fall in love and seek permission to marry.
Inspired by real-life events, Kiss Marry Kill is a provocative new play that reimagines the first same-sex wedding in a UK prison.
Take a seat and prepare for the action to take place in front, above and around you – in signature Dante or Die style. With live music from rapper Lady Lykez, the production envelops audiences in the private spaces and conversations of a world rarely seen.
Kiss Marry Kill zeroes in on the limits of our compassion, challenging our assumptions and preconceptions around sexuality, and the criminal justice system.
