Arsenic & Old Lace

A dark comedy by Joseph Kesselring, directed by Gary Varner, follows drama critic Mortimer Brewster as he uncovers a grim secret within his own family. His outwardly kind aunts have been poisoning lonely elderly men with elderberry wine mixed with arsenic, and he scrambles to contain their deeds while facing upheaval among his relatives. The turmoil grows as Mortimer works to keep the situation from spinning out of control.
