Name:
Moscow Community Theatre, Die, Mommie, Die!
Date:
April 5, 2019 - April 7, 2019
Event Description:
A comic melodrama that evokes the 1960’s “grande guignol” films that featured aging stars such as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner. Ex-pop singer, Angela Andrews, is trapped in a hateful marriage with film producer Sol Sussman. Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, an out of work TV actor, Tony Parker, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository. In a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood kitsch, Angela’s Elektra-like daughter, Edith, convinces Angela’s emotionally disturbed son, Lance, that they must avenge their father’s death by killing their mother. A surprising twist ending has all of the Sussman family’s dirty laundry aired out for once and for all. Get your tickets in advance beginning March 6 at Safari Pearl (660 W. Pullman Rd.) in Moscow, ID or now at www.moscowcommunitytheatre.org.
