Guthrie Theater

The classic comedy that kills with kindness.
Direct from her role in La Bête on Broadway, the incomparable Sally Wingert returns to the Guthrie stage for the first time since last season's Faith Healer, joining acclaimed comedienne and Broadway veteran Kristine Nielsen to play the well-meaning sisters in this perfectly-written comedy.

Spinster sisters Abby and Martha Brewster are devoted to charity and family. But they have taken on another project as well - befriending lonely older gentlemen and then poisoning them with arsenic-laced elderberry wine. Marking the 70th anniversary of a play The New York Times called "so funny that none of us will ever forget it," the Guthrie presents this uproarious comedy for the first time since 1975.
