This beloved dark comedy serves up murder, mayhem, and madcap family antics with a charming twist. When theater critic Mortimer Brewster discovers his sweet old aunts are secretly poisoning lonely gentlemen, he’s thrust into a whirlwind of eccentric relatives, buried bodies, and frantic cover-ups. Packed with rapid-fire dialogue and outrageous characters, Arsenic and Old Lace is a timeless farce that blends heart and hilarity with just the right dose of madness.

Arsenic and Old Lace

Chapel Street Players  

At a large, tastefully-appointed townhouse, the Deputy Mayor has just shot himself. Though it’s only a flesh wound, Charlie Brock’s self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce. As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyers Ken and Chris Gorman , scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.
