By Joseph Kesselring | Directed by Peter Newling
Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family!
Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him!
Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding.
Cabaret-style seating at round tables of 10. This production will have two 15 minute intervals. Please BYO drinks, nibbles and glasses.
Tables 1-3 are in the front closest to the stage, tables 4-6 are in the middle and tables 7-9 are at the back.
