Synopsis
A Farce That's To Die For!
Tugun Theatre Company closes out our 2026 season with Joseph Kesselring’s classic dark comedy, Arsenic & Old Lace!
Drama critic Mortimer Brewster seems to have his life together, until he uncovers a body hidden in the window seat at his sweet aunts' Brooklyn home. To his horror, he learns that his charming, devout aunts, Abby and Martha, have taken to "relieving" lonely old gentlemen with a glass of elderberry wine laced with arsenic, strychnine, and a pinch of cyanide.
Throw in a brother who believes he’s Teddy Roosevelt digging the Panama Canal in the basement, and an estranged criminal brother returning with a brand-new face, and Mortimer finds himself in a wildly frantic race to keep his family out of asylum, and away from the police!
