Updated with a huge cast, 'Hellcab' still an iconic trip through Chicago
"Hellcab," playwright Will Kern's black comedy about a hellish winter day in the life of a cipherlike Chicago cabby, is not, let us stipulate upfront, the aesthetic equal of "American Buffalo," "A Raisin in the Sun" or "The Front Page." But when you're ticking off iconic Chicago plays — shows that have really captured the heart of this city — "Hellcab" fully merits a place on the list.
