When it comes to disfunctional families the Brewsters of Brooklyn, New York will take some beating. First there are the matriarchal maiden aunts Abby and Martha whose many acts of charity include despatching "lonely gentlemen" to premature graves in their cellar. Then there is their live-in nephew Teddy who is convinced he is President Roosevelt and visiting nephew Jonathan, an escapee from a state lunatic asylum. Amidst the manic mayhem is another nephew, the apparently sane and sensible Mortimer, but is he really who he thinks he is? Find out when you see one of the funniest plays ever written. |
