Kink at Annoyance Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...The conceit works when the cast opt for outrageous physical humor, like oral sex lessons on a blow-up doll. But the writing lacks balls. We rarely see the ramifications of the repression people keep talking about. And the songs, though catchy, do little to fill in the holes."

Centerstage - Somewhat Recommended

"...From flats plastered with aerial photographs of the suburbs to songs featuring lines like, "I want to be free from suburban normalcy," "Kink" sets its target in plain sight and paints a big red bull's-eye around it. But for all its anatomically correct blow-up dolls, men in women's panties, and flogger-toting housewives, the show misses its mark."

Chicago Theater Beat - Somewhat Recommended

"...As it is, the show handles sexual content bombastically and superficially, rather than getting to the center of disconnection between long-married husband and wife. As late night entertainment at Annoyance, one expects the limits on language and sexuality to be pushed and the blow-up dolls to be tossed around. But having crossed that Rubicon, it’s pushing the truth on human sexual experience that really makes for outrage."
