The Arsenic and Old Lace Radio Show

From NBC Radio’s Best Plays series, "The Arsenic and Old Lace Radio Show" is a farcical comedy involving Mortimer Brewster, a successful New York newspaper drama critic who discovers that for years his two spinster aunts have been lacing wine with arsenic and giving it to lonely old men. He also has a brother who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt and digs locks for the Panama Canal in the cellar and a second who received botched plastic surgery and now looks like horror-film actor Boris Karloff. Mortimer must deal not only with his crazy, murderous family but also Brooklyn, New York, police as he debates whether to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves. Presented in a reader's theater format, tickets are $15 and include a beverage of choice and dessert.
