Theatre & Stage

Comedy by Joseph Kesselring

Ever since theater critic Mortimer Brewster, who lives in Brooklyn, fell in love with the vicar's daughter Elaine, he has been visiting his two quirky aunts Abby and Martha almost every day. Elaine conveniently lives next door. On the evening of his engagement, of all nights, Mortimer accidentally discovers a corpse in the window box of his much-loved aunts. It could only have been Teddy! Mortimer's crazy brother thinks he is President Theodore Roosevelt and is busy excavating the Panama Canal in the basement of the old house. But it gets worse: Abby and Martha know about the unknown dead man! They even admit to having killed him themselves! Their poison-infused elderberry wine is very popular with single gentlemen. When Mortimer's brother Jonathan, who was thought to be dead, turns up at the aunts' house with his dubious friend Dr. Einstein, things get really complicated. And insanely funny.
Before Arsenic and Lace Hood was made into a film starring Cary Grant in 1941, the play had already enjoyed huge success on Broadway. Henriette Hörnigk is now staging the most famous crime comedy of all time on the big stage at the Volkstheater Rostock.
