Arsenic and Old Lace

The Candlelight Theatre
2208 Millers Road Wilmington

When you go home to share the happy news of your engagement, the last thing you expect to discover is that your family's gone completely crazy. But that's exactly what happens to Mortimer Brewster in this Candlelight Theatre dinner theater production of Arsenic and Old Lace. His uncles have gone mental and his spinster aunts have taken to poisoning lonely men and burying them in their basement. In this hilarious dark comedy, originally written for the stage in 1939 and later made into a beloved Frank Capra film starring Cary Grant, poor Brewster has to juggle his pre-marriage jitters with family antics and meddling police. Your ticket includes a tasty buffet meal and the venue offers a full cash bar for drink purchases.
