BWW Review: ARSENIC & OLD LACE Delivers Killer Performance at JPAS
At first glance, the living room in the Brewster home is quaint and unassuming. But when young Mortimer Brewster discovers that his aunts Abby and Martha are serving their boarding guests something a little stronger than tea, things become a bit complicated in ARSENIC & OLD LACE by Joseph Kesselring. This 1939 murder-filled classic is brought to vibrant life at the Jefferson Performing Arts Center this month. If you’re a fan of dark humor and screwball comedy, then you’ll enjoy this enthusiastic production that nothing drives you crazy quite like family.
