Mortimer Brewster (Adam Shanaman ’22, right) reassures his brother, who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt (Eric Lehman ’22), that “the country is squarely behind you.”
The scene is from a practice of Bluffton University’s fall play “Arsenic and Old Lace.”
The 1940s dark comedy centers around Brewster, whose charming and charitable aunts have an unusual ministry – helping lonely boarders to their heavenly rest by serving poisoned elderberry wine.
