At the Terrace Plaza Playhouse in Ogden Utah they are currently showing the hilarious classic, Arsenic and Old Lace.
To elderly sisters rent out the extra bedrooms in their house to single gentlemen.
They have three nephews, Teddy, Mortimer, and Jonathon. Teddy lives with them and he genuinely believes that he is President Teddy Roosevelt.
Mortimer visits his aunts regularly as his fiance lives just across the cemetery from them. Yes, that is correct. There is a cemetery between them. He also is a theater critic.
They don't really talk about Jonathon.
By a fluke Mortimer discovers a body in the window chair in his Aunt's house. He presumes that his eccentric and crazy brother, the one that believes he is President Roosevelt, has finally crossed a dark and unforgivable line. However, when he confronts his aunts they admit openly that the body is of their doing and that they have poisoned him with Arsenic. They also admit they have done away with 12 "gentlemen". Mortimer is horrified and wracks his brain trying to devise a plan to protect his aunts.
Things are complicated further when their evil brother, Jonathon shows up with a body of his own. That's when the comedy really begins.
This is a twisted, psycho, hilariously funny little play. I was torn between shaking my head because the whole concept is just so wrong and LMAO. Oh my gosh! Seriously, I was rolling on the floor laughing.
For a little amateur theater the Terrace Plaza Playhouse always does an exceptional Job!
Arsenic and Old Lace will be playing until September 17, 2016.
SEE IT!!!!!
