Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring
A dark comedy with laughter and death in equal measure.
You couldn’t hope to meet two lovelier ladies than Abby and Martha Brewster. The sisters are famous throughout Brooklyn for their generosity, good intentions and hospitality. Living quietly with their nephew Theodore Roosevelt we will discover that they have recently taken up a new, and rather unusual hobby.
Their nephew Mortimer, a dashing young journalist, is about to find the macabre secret his aunts are hiding in the window seat. When the oldest brother Jonathan comes to stay with his sinister friend Doctor Einstein all hell will break loose and this once peaceful house will see chaos and mayhem before morning.
Join us, please, for a delicious glass of wine and you’ll soon discover all the answers we need to solve our mysteries. What is being hidden in the window seat? Why does Jonathan look so different since Martha and Abby last saw him? Will the romance between Mortimer and the beautiful Elaine last until morning and will Mortimer still be sane then?
The Play was performed on December 1st, 2nd, 6th and 8th 2015 in TuFa, Trier.
