Description
Chambersburg Community Theatre presents ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, a dark comedy by Joseph Kesselring that explores human family relationships and the influence genetics may play in morality, mental health, hobbies and homicide. Drama Critic, Mortimer Brewster announces his engagement to Elaine Harper, the "girl next door", to discover his beloved aunts' most recent hobby threatens not only the new couple's happiness, but, the well-being of the entire Brewster clan. A series of welcome and unwelcome guests push Mortimer to the brink of mental collapse before the revelation of several well-kept family "secrets" allow Mortimer and the audience to breathe a sigh of relief--at least until one last guest threatens to prove genetics' case.
