Matinees on Oct 16, 23, & 24th at 2:00pm

Our first play of the season will introduce you to Abby Brewster and her sister Martha. They are two nice, sweet old ladies who murder nice, sweet, lonely old men by offering them elderberry wine laced with arsenic. And the sisters' crazy but harmless nephew Teddy, who sports a large moustache and a pince-nez, believes he is Teddy Roosevelt, and often charges up the flight of stairs as if it were San Juan Hill. Teddy digs graves in the Brewster cellar, burying the sisters' victims who he believes are yellow fever casualties working on the Panama Canal. Matters get more farcical when another Brewster nephew, the criminal Jonathan on the lam, and a strange Dr. Einstein arrive with the body of their latest victim. Complications set in when their nephew Mortimer learns of the sisters' activities; and must deal with his crazy, homicidal family and local police as he debates whether or not to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves.

Watch Robinson pit his wits against the villainous Blackpatch and his band of bloodthirsty pirates who want the treasure for themselves. On Tobago we meet Friday and the hungry Islanders led by their Queen. How will Robinson deal with this dilemma, not to mention the Grunting Gorilla? Along the way there is plenty of singing, dancing and humour, providing fun for the whole family. Not to mention the usual audience participation, joining in with the familiar "Oh no, it isn't!" "Oh yes, it is!" and "Look behind you!" Don't worry everything ends happily ever after, like all good pantos!
