The University of Wisconsin-Superior Theatre Department presents Arsenic and Old Lace, with performances Nov. 11-13 and 18-20.
The show is directed by Cathy Fank.
Synopsis: Writer and marriage detractor Mortimer Brewster falls for girl-next-door Elaine Harper and they soon marry. When the newlyweds return to their respective family homes to deliver the news, Mortimer finds a corpse hidden in a window seat. With his eccentric aunts, disturbed uncle and homicidal brother, he starts to realize that his family is even crazier than he thought. The story was depicted in the 1944 film directed by Frank Capra and starring Cary Grant.
