ARSENIC AND OLD LACE Set for A.D. Players, 9/4-10/6

By:

Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring will run September 4 - October 6, 2013 at A.D. Players.

A madcap dark comedy that is as funny as it is famous! The elderly Brewster sisters are the town darlings, but they have a little secret. Their nephew Mortimer discovers they are 'helping' lonely gentlemen boarders to early graves by way of homemade, arsenic-laced wine! Add a brother who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt, a criminal on the run, and the girl Mortimer wants to marry, and you have a recipe for hilarity.

Performances are select Wednesdays (9/4, 9/11, 9/18) and Thursdays at 7:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, and Sunday matinees at 2:30pm with four Saturday matinees at 2:30p on September 14, 21, and 28, and October 5.
