Arsenic and Old Lace

This year’s spring play is Joseph Kesselring’s farce Arsenic and Old Lace.  This dark classic comedy involves the Brewster household which is far from dull.  Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic, debates whether to marry the woman he loves in the midst of dealing with his crazy family. The play features two spinster aunts who have resorted to mercy-killing lonely old men with arsenic-laced glasses of wine. Also in the mix are two eccentric nephews, one who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt and the other who has escaped from a mental institution. This unlikely scenario provides unexpected comic and suspense-filled scenes.
