* THIS EVENT HAS EXPIRED *
“Arsenic and Old Lace” is a farcical comedy revolving around Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, homicidal family and his promise to marry the woman he loves. His two spinster aunts, Aunt Abby and Aunt Martha, have been engaged in their “charity” work of poisoning lonely old men with their home-made elderberry wine. His older brother believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and digs locks for the Panama Canal in the basement, and he has a murderous brother, Jonathan, who has received plastic surgery by an alcoholic accomplice, Dr. Einstein, and now he resembles Boris Karloff. Toss a few Brooklyn police in the plot and there is a laugh a minute throughout the play.
