Talk to her husband and get his clearance and then just do it. It's not real, it's just acting.
Good Luck!! xx

 If you want to be a professional actor, you can't turn down a role for any reason, not unless it's a crappy play that'll just make you look bad. You need to be building your resumé, and it seems like you'll be working with noted talent. This could be a real opportunity for you!
She's your 2nd cousin's wife? She's barely related to you, buddy. Not to mention, your 2nd cousin has probably seen her in many other plays kissing many other guys - at least he knows that there's DEFINITELY not going to be any dirty business between you two off the set.
You'd be silly not to take this role and own it. Do the best you can, break a leg and shed that awkward feeling - it'll show on stage.
Good luck!

Forgive me if this sounds insensitive, but I thought the whole point of acting was to be able to ignore everything else and make the play real? It won't be that awkward, you're not the person with feelings for her and she's not the one with feelings for you, it's your characters. You've just got to take a deep breath, remember that none of it is real and go for it! When are you going to get a chance like this again?
