February 6, 1998 - MaryAlice Bitts -
"Starting with prehistoric cave fights, and working
its way up to madern gang disputes, 'Kiss of Steel' showcases a wide variety
of fighting styles."
"Featuring highly athletic stunts and a battery
of interesting weaponry, the show presents an odd mix of conflict, athleticism
and comedy."
"In that light, 'Kiss of Steel' seems a bizarrely
appropriate choice for Co-Motion's Valentine's week Major Motion Series
performance -- broadswords, nunchucks and all. While it is a funny,
slapstick, action-packed show, there is an odd but vibrant romantic dynamic
at its core." |

Intelligencer Journal, Review: Theater
February 12, 1998 - Tom Knapp -
"How many couples could live together, work together
and beat each other up with swords for the public's enjoyment?"
"It was, in fact, the audience that needed stitches
by evening's end. The couples' wit and antics produced howls of laughter."
"They wrestle, tango, duke it out with quarterstaves
and turn the stage into a home for domestic unrest as they prove that any
household object can be a lethal weapon."
"Their facial expressions accentuate every comic
moment, and they adeptly share the spotlight without overshadowing the
other." |

Lancaster Sunday News, Theater Review
February 15, 1998 - Marty Crisp -
"Up on the stage. It's the Man of Steel.
It's the Buns of Steel. It's the Kiss of Steel.
Wait! It's all three!"
"If you've never seen combat with toilet plungers,
bowling balls, golf clubs, umbrellas, phones, coat racks, and chain saws,
well, this is the place to go to catch up."
"There's even sword play -- with all the emphasis
on the PLAY."
Lancaster New Era, Theater Review
February 12, 1998 - Todd R. Weiss -
"The play, performed in the small fourth-floor
Studio Theater in the Fulton Opera House, is a 90-minute roller coaster
of action and fun, centered on the most serious of topics."
"The result is like a fantasy episode of 'I Love
Lucy' Meets 'Xena the Warrior Princess' -- filled with side-splitting laughs,
medieval weaponry, savage battles and colorful costumes."
"Rathbone and Rosie, played by the real-life husband
and wife acting team of Greg and Kate Ramsey, are hilarious together, playing
perfectly off each other with impeccable comic timing." |
