Arsenic and Old Lace
September 11-October 2
We meet the charming and innocent Brewster sisters. Two ladies who run a boarding house upstairs and populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously “acceptable” roomers; that is after they poison them with elderberry wine. Add to this the antics of their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other brother, Jonathan a malicious killer on the loose, and you have the elements of a divinely inspired comedy.
