MEMORY from 1992: One of the audience favourites. The Brewster family is composed of maniacs, most of them homicidal. They include: two spinster aunts, Abby and Martha, who have taken to murdering lonely old men by poisoning them with a glass of home-made elderberry wine laced with arsenic; a brother, Teddy, who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt and another murderous brother, Jonathan, who has received plastic surgery performed by an alcoholic accomplice. Nephew Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic, must deal with his crazy, murderous family and local police in Brooklyn, New York, as he debates whether to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves.
Saturday and Sunday performances are 4pm matinees.
All other performances at 8pm
