Q S 59 JOHNATHAN TELLS MORTIMER that he has to leave, as Dr. Einstein, played by Shaun Robbins, looks on. DIANE SMOLEN LOOKS on at the play she is direct- ing for the Coronado Fine Arts Department. 28 Arsenic and Old Lace by Shawn Hensley Photos by Mark Nagasawa The production of Arsenic and Old Lace is a suspenceful mystery-com- edy about two supposedly innocent old ladies, Abbey and Martha Brewster. Feeling sorry for their lonely roomers who have no family, they simply give them some elderberry wine laced with arsenic. Their mentally unbalanced nephew, Teddy, who thinks he is Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt, buries the victims in the cellar, which he be- lieves is the Panama Canal. Mortimer, Teddy's brother, discovers his aunts' bad habit of giving their roomers poi- soned wine and frantically tries to cure them of it. Johnathan, the third brother, and his partner, Dr. Einstein, come for a visit with plans to stay, realizing that his aunts' home is the perfect location for his business . As it turns out, the old ladies have bumped off as many people as Johnathan. Arsenic and Old Lace was the first Production of the year for Coronado. It was well attended on the dates of No- vember third through fifth. flnsawicz and 0011 Looe
