By David Miller
Q1: Is a rainbow kiss a real, widely practiced act or an internet myth?

Q2: What is Simon Farquhar's play Rainbow Kiss actually about?

Q3: Where was the play Rainbow Kiss originally staged?
A3: It premiered at London's Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in April 2006, directed by Richard Wilson and produced as part of the theater's prestigious new-writing initiative.
Q4: Can you read the original theater script?
A4: Yes. The complete stage text was published by Oberon Books in 2006 and remains cataloged in theatrical libraries and literature databases under Simon Farquhar’s bibliography.
