Arsenic and Old Lace Tickets

Arsenic and Old Lace Show Tickets

Alcohol, insanity and murderous plots abound in a production you can only see after getting Arsenic and Old Lace tickets. Written by Joseph Kesselring in 1939, the story became famous with the film version starring Cary Grant. This dark comedy follows the Brewster family who originally descended from Mayflower pilgrims. Unfortunately, they are mostly homicidal maniacs, including two spinster aunts who enjoy poisoning old men with wine laced with arsenic. Their victims end up buried in the cellar of the Brewster's home in graves dug by Teddy, a brother who thinks he is Theodore Roosevelt.

The main character, Mortimer Brewster, struggles to deal with his psychotic family while courting the local minister’s daughter. Mortimer almost becomes a victim himself when his brother Jonathan tries to kill him. Eventually, he settles on the solution of putting his aunts in a senior home and letting the police deal with his murderous brother.

Audience members who purchase Arsenic and Old Lace tickets are in for a wild, hilarious ride that is almost too weird to be real. But the story is based on a shred of truth. Kesselring was inspired by tales of a lady who ran a boarding house in Connecticut and promised lifetime care but poisoned her guests for their pension money. It’s a horrifying, intriguing tale that became Kesselring’s most popular play and will captivate you from beginning to end.
