Peterborough Players to Present Thrilling Comedy ARSENIC AND OLD LACE

Spinster sisters Abby and Martha Brewster are devoted to charity and family. But they have taken on another project as well - befriending lonely older gentlemen and offering an unusual form of "hospitality" involving their special homemade elderberry wine. Their nephew Mortimer, paying them a visit on the eve of his engagement, finds himself in the midst of mayhem as he tries to keep his aunt's endeavors at bay. A classic comedy that has delighted audiences for decades.

Arsenic and Old Lace features Joyce Cohen, Dale Hodges, Tom Frey and Kraig Swartz and is directed by Charles Morgan.

The third of seven Main Stage shows that the Peterborough Players will produce during their 13-week Summer Season, Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring July 19 -30 and is sponsored by Grove Street Fiduciary.

Performances are Wednesday-Friday at 7:30pm, Saturday at 8:00pm, Sundays at 4:00pm. The Players is also pleased to present an additional matinee performance on Tuesdays at 2:00pm.
