One of my favorite plays of all time - funny, just a little creepy and still fun even many years after it was written. ( )

Cute yarn, fun characters, saw the end coming. ( )

Subtle dark humor. Hilarious play. ( )

This entertaining play about a very strange family is sure to entertain the more educated students in high school. Mortimer brings his newlywed to his aunts’ house in Brooklyn and that is where the strangeness begins. He is a critic who throughout these well-written humorous scenes, realizes his aunts are killing old men and burying them in the basement of their house by their nephew who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt. I would only recommend this play to students who have background information about the Panama Canal and the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt; they will find it much more humorous. ( )
