A beloved comedy classic, ARSENIC AND OLD LACE invites audiences into a delightfully dangerous home where charm, eccentricity, and murderous hospitality collide. With quick wit, unforgettable characters, and one outrageous twist after another, this classic farce delivers an evening of dark humor and theatrical mischief at the historic Landers Theatre.
In a quiet Brooklyn home, drama critic Mortimer Brewster discovers that his sweet, elderly aunts have been hiding a shocking secret in the cellar. As eccentric relatives, unexpected visitors, and one very suspicious brother descend on the house, Mortimer must navigate family loyalty, romance, and a rapidly unraveling situation that becomes more hilarious — and more deadly — by the minute.
