Description


Beware the Brewster sisters of Brooklyn, New York,
especially if you're a lonely, older bachelor.  One drink of these
elderly eccentrics' arsenic laced elderberry wine could land you buried
in their basement!  Meet Martha and Abby, a dangerous dynamic duo
with a chilling sense of "charity" and an outrageously eclectic
supporting cast in a magnificently macabre and madcap masterpiece.  One
of the theater's most endearing comedies, Joseph Kesselring's hilarious
farce is an American classic.
