About the play
What happens when an alcoholic surgeon, two crazy spinsters, twenty four dead bodies and deadly drinks cross paths?
Chaos ensues when nephew Mortimer, on a visit to his sweet maiden aunts, discovers they are offering 'elderberry wine' to lonely old men to quicken their passing to everlasting peace. 'Skeletons in the closet' isn't the half of it!
This madcap black comedy brilliantly combines the farcical and the macabre, and has been a fan with audiences since 1941.
