OVERWEIGHT, unimportant: MISSHAPE

- A European Supper

 

 

OVERWEIGHT is one of The Reader’s favorite shows in 2011!

 

 Here is what the Chicago press had to say:

 

“A rather beautiful young couple (the lovely actors Géraldine Dulex and David A. Holcombe) look sweetly into each other’s eyes and kiss with a kind of demur passion… Dark and perverse is what these artists do best.”
- Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune (*** 3 stars!)

 

“A jaw-dropping production…This has got to be one of the most unabashedly vicious things I’ve ever seen on a stage. I loved it.”
- Tony Adler, Chicago Reader (Reader Recommended)

 

“It’s a refreshing and provocative example of capital-T theater: politically aggressive, razor sharp and thoroughly entertaining.”
- Dan Jakes, Time Out Chicago (Highly Recommended)

 

“One thing you’ve got to say about Trao Door Theatre, that outpost of the European avant-garde: It’s artists have the courage of their convictions.”
- Hedy Weiss, The Suntimes (Recommended)


“Géraldine Dulex and David A. Holcombe are perfectly bourgeois and attractively out of place as The Beautiful Couple… Together, this brilliant ensemble manages the impossible”

– Venus Zarris, Chicago Stage Review (Highly Recommended)

With hilarious chill, Werner Schwab’s OVERWEIGHT, unimportant: MISSHAPE plunges into the dark, unknowable depths of human longing. Never before has degradation, perverse loneliness, and mankind’s toxic ego been so funny. Steppenwolf ensemble member Yasen Peyankov directs the U.S. premiere.
