COMEDY: A farcical comedy set in Brooklyn, New York during the 1940's. The play revolves around two nice, sweet old ladies who murder nice, sweet, lonely old men by offering them elderberry wine laced with poison. The Brewster sisters live with their mentally challenged nephew Teddy who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt and frequently charges up the stairs as if it were San Juan Hill. Matters get complicated when a second nephew Mortimer, a theater hating drama critic discovers the murders. Mortimer must juggle the antics of his two murdering Aunts, calls from the NYPD regarding Teddy, woo his fiance Elaine and get rid of his criminal older brother Jonathan who has just arrived in town with the alcoholic plastic surgeon Dr. Einstein. In this adroit mixture of comedy and mayhem, Arsenic and Old Lace satirizes our normal charitable impulses and pokes fun at the conventions of the theater.
