ARSENIC AND ROSES

A PLAY IN ONE-ACT BY BRAD McENTIRE

Teresa Valenza as Katherine and Jeff Swearingen as Charles in ARSENIC & ROSES

40 MINUTES / 1 M / 1 F / SINGLE SET

Charles is having one of the worst nights of his life. To make matters worse he runs smack into a certain someone from his past... someone with quite a grudge! A darkly comic tale of a parakeet-murderer and the passive-aggressive woman who loves him.
