“Hellcab” at the Raven Theatre Chicago | Review

This popular play by Will Kern has been trotted out by several companies since its debut in the nineteen- nineties and was even made into a movie in 1998.

“Hellcab” is comprised of a number of vignettes all taking place within the confines of a cab trolling the streets of Chicago during an evening leading up to the Christmas holiday.

There are highs and lows, there is happiness and sadness,violence and love. Some people are in good cheer, others not so much.  Through each experience the stoic cabbie (inthis case played by Regina Linn) absorbs the emotional impact of each encounter.

“Hellcab” by The Chicago Theater Collective is at The RavenTheatre, 6157 N. Clark Street, Chicago through December 30, 2018. Information is available at http://wearetheagency.org or call (773)680-4596
