Joseph Kesselring’s classic comedy ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’, directed by Sarah Trent, will be performed November 7-16, 2025 at the Potomac Playmakers Performing Arts Center.
Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. He rushes to tell his aunts before they stumble upon the body, only to learn they have killed him themselves! Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother hiding from the police – not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage – it will be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding.
