Virginia Stage Company presents the classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace, which runs from September 4 to September 22, 2024. The play follows Mortimer Brewster, a theater critic who, upon returning home to announce his engagement, unearths the dark secret of his two eccentric aunts: their penchant for poisoning lonely old men. As he navigates the chaos of his family, including a brother who believes he's Teddy Roosevelt and another in hiding from law enforcement, Mortimer must decide between familial loyalty and doing what's right. This madcap tale blends humor with suspense, promising an entertaining night at the historic Wells Theatre.
