We’ve never loved watching a couple fight more than in Kissin’ Impossible — a married-couple action comedy now on stage! Michael and Jennifer Ehnert deliver something both cinematic and moving. A true War of the Roses that keeps you riveted to the very end. ★★★★★
(Hamburger Morgenpost)
On TV and in the movies, every love story ends the same way: the hug… the deep gaze… the long kiss… and then - fade out.
But what happens after “happily ever after”? What happens when the so-called “dream couple” runs headlong into the everyday struggles of real life? The bitter truth: they can’t handle it - just like everybody else.
In Kissin’ Impossible, Michael and Jennifer Ehnert play… Michael and Jennifer Ehnert: a dream couple whose on-screen passion turns into an off-screen battle. Just a few years ago, Michael and Jennifer fell in love while filming the series Kissin’ Impossible - a romantic action comedy about a tough cop and a sharp journalist uncovering the world’s greatest conspiracy. But the show never made it to air. And just like the glamorous couple at its center, the dream fizzled before it had a chance to truly begin.
Onstage, they sit in divorce court, forced to wait two hours before they can separate for good. What do they do with the time? They replay variations of the very scenes that once made them stars - action-packed love stories that are as over-the-top as their own crumbling relationship.
Kissin’ Impossible is a breathtaking tour de force through the clichés of modern gender roles, spiced with razor-sharp dialogue, fiery performances, and even flashes of relationship research.
