The play, a clever combination of the farcical and the macabre, centers on two elderly sisters who are famous in their Brooklyn neighborhood for their numerous acts of charity. Unfortunately, however, their charity includes poisoning lonely old men who come to their home looking for lodging. The two women are assisted in their crimes by their mentally challenged nephew who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and who frequently blasts a bugle and yells ‘‘charge’’ as he bounds up the stairs. Matters get complicated when a second nephew, a theater critic, discovers the murders and a third nephew appears after having just escaped from a mental institution. An adroit mixture of comedy and mayhem that pokes fun at the conventions of the theater.

"Diego Pitarch gives us the three story house of the Brewster sisters on one very minimalistic set, however appearances can be deceiving because there's lots to commend about its ingenuity." - BBC
