Little Theatre performs at Laycock St

Woy Woy Little Theatre will perform its upcoming production Arsenic and Old Lace at Laycock St Theatre from July 20 to August 5.

The play, by Joseph Kesselring and directed by John Hickey, is a combination of the farcical and the macabre, following the story of two elderly sisters who are famous for their acts of charity.

Unfortunately, however, their charity includes poisoning lonely old men who come to their home looking for lodging.

The two women are assisted in their crimes by their mentally-challenged nephew who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt.

Matters get complicated when a second nephew, Mortimer Brewster, a theatre critic, discovers the murders and a third nephew appears after having just escaped from a mental institution.
