Arsenic and Old Lace at Ottawa Little Theatre

Mortimer Brewster is living a happy life: he’s a New York newspaper critic, he’s about to marry the preacher’s daughter, and he’s off to visit his sweet spinster aunts to announce the engagement. Mortimer always knew that his family has a bit of a mad gene – his brother believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt – but his world is turned upside down when he realizes that his dear aunts have been poisoning lonely old men for years! When his other brother – a psychopathic gangster – shows up, the body count rises. This uproarious farce was made into a hit movie starring Carey Grant.

“Arsenic and Old Lace is goofy and fun and requires nothing of the audience other than to sit back and watch it play out merrily.” – The Philadelphia Inquirer

Tina Prud'homme's work is intuitive and interesting. Now, I really want to see Arsenic and Old Lace at the OLT!
