Suburban rage in 'Mrs. Cage'
By David C. Nichols
Special to The Times

This much we know: On Aug. 4, Mrs. Martin Cage, wife and mother of lawyers, witnessed the fatal shooting of grocery box-boy Billy as he grappled with a purse snatcher. The purse's owner, Phyllis Dean, continued to bewail her stolen bag. Mrs. Cage then retrieved the thief's dropped gun and shot Phyllis between the eyes.

What we will never know rolls like moving doggies through "Mrs. Cage" at Two Lights Studio Theater. Nancy Barr's 1990 look at suburban ennui gone lethal receives a gripping revival with Judith Weston, who originated the title role in its premiere and revisits it as though for the first time.
