ARSENIC AND OLD LACE

by Joseph Kesselring

October 24 - NOVEMBER 3, 2024

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’ belief that killing old men to relieve them of their loneliness is an act of kindness and Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage — it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding.

Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic dark comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.

Rated PG-10+ due to comic portrail of death
