Arsenic and Old Lace

Alley Theatre, London

About the Show

One of the American theatre’s greatest screwball comedies, Arsenic and Old Lace introduces audiences to the Brewster sisters, their nephew Teddy (who believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt), and their drama critic nephew Mortimer, who is as surprised as anyone to learn that his maiden aunts have taken it upon themselves to commit murder – with a glass of arsenic-spiked elderberry wine. Gregory Boyd directs.
