Not a bad idea - turning Mom into a real-life counterpart of a horror-film stalker - but her character (at least in Lusia Strus's over-the-top performance) is too much of a shrieking harridan from the start, and neither Moore nor director Josh Hecht manage to make the farcical revenge plot pay off.

Accordingly, “The Front Page”—a play written by former Chicago reporters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur that was first produced in 1928—attests to this stereotype, characterizing journalism as an elitist gentlemen’s club. But in BlackCast’s current production of the play—which opened last night and will run through Nov. 15 in the Agassiz Theatre?...
