What's it about?
A beloved dark comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace tells the story of Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who discovers his sweet elderly aunts have been poisoning lonely gentlemen as an “act of charity.” As if that weren’t enough, his brother thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother has a few deadly secrets of his own. Chaos ensues as Mortimer scrambles to protect his family, his fiancée, and his own sanity.
First performed in 1941, this play remains a masterclass in farce, blending sharp wit with outrageous situations!
