The Front Page (SPT, 2015)Hard-bitten journalists, corrupt politicians, and a few good souls in a wisecracking, fast-talking, darkly hilarious farce. It's 1928, we're in the
press room of the Criminal Courts Building in Chicago, and a man on death row is about to get the strangest reprieve of his life. Rough, raw, and fast, the overlapping lines, wisecracks, and actions fly by in the slam-bang mode of a gangster flick. (Credit: Seattle Public Theater) |
