The D-Cup Diatribes at Gorilla Tango Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Playwright Melody Swink tries to do for breasts what Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues did for another part of the female anatomy. The result falls weakly between celebration, indignation, and a feminist-lite philosophy that stays vague and uncontroversial."

"...Opening night was packed with personal friends and financial donors, yet even they were bored. Melody Swink was left clapping alone to one of her song parodies when nobody else felt enthused enough to join in. More than a few of the patrons that arrived excited for D-Cup’s opening were caught sleeping through most of the performance. Just because you can get the financial backing to produce a show, doesn’t mean the show is worth producing. Stay home for this one. Gorilla Tango Theatre offers many inspiring new works, but The D-Cup Diatribes is a failed production."

"...The story goes nowhere and the only promising part of the show is the work of Ms. Sara Tode, a newcomer to our area who does a right smart job of taking on the roles of the women involved in this script (?). She is a talented young woman who tries hard to overcome what she has been given to perform and director Mark Contorno, with limited space and content, makes a valiant effort to put a somewhat organized show on stage."
