If you were really on the rise you wouldn't be posting such an unimportant question, you would act like a professional and just kiss her

Kalyov agony auntI been in several plays (20 to be exact) and I know all about this. This summer we put on Grease and the girl who played Rizzo and the guy who played Kenickie were cousins and they had to do a makeout scene. They just pretended to kiss, but did it in such a way that it looked real.

You could try that...

or, just act!

Kiss her!

you're not really kissing her "in real life"....your character is just kissing her character.

just take her aside and plan it all out, also make sure that your cousin is fine with it. Tell him it is all an act, show him the script if need be.

Its a bit weird but if she and your cousin are ok with it then why not? Just have a wank before each performance because if you pitch a tent your cousin might trash the set!! This is classic!

MonksDaBomb agony auntI don't really see the problem here. Actors and actresses have intimate and "really intimate!" scenes with people they know and people they don't know all the time. The latter involves a trust issue with that actor's significant other. Her husband has already said he has no problem with it....this is strictly business, no messiness afterwards, the two of you are adults. I say do the play.

Just have fun with it. Play it off as if you are just friends mucking around.

Its not like you are having an affair. You are just acting roles for a theatre audience. As plenty of people who are involved have done before.
