For their autumn production, The Phoenix Theatre in Ross-on-Wye present a tall tale of mass murder, home surgery and elderberry wine.
The Brewster Sisters are two of the sweetest old ladies you could hope to meet, always working for charity and always on the look-out for poor souls to help. Even if that means poisoning them and stashing the bodies under the stairs!
Their nephew – reluctant theatre critic Mortimer Brewster – should be on cloud nine having become engaged to charming Elaine, the girl next door. But he’s just discovered his aunts’ little hobby and – understandably – his mind is elsewhere.
Helped along by a cast of misfits and the criminally insane, Arsenic and Old Lace is a fast-paced, vintage comedy with a killer punchline that will keep you on the edge of your seat and convulsed with laughter.
The show runs from Saturday, November 18 to Saturday, November 25 at 7.30pm. To book, call the box office at Rossiter Books on 01989 564464 or online at ticketsource.co.uk/thephoenixtheatre.
