Drama Dock will present its second weekend of the classic comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace” this weekend.

Written by American playwright Joseph Kesselring and directed on Vashon by Chaim Rosemarin, the play is set in 1941 Brooklyn, New York, and revolves around the Brewster familly, many of whom have become homicidal maniacs.

The island show includes a mixture of newcomers and Drama Dock veterans, and Rosemarin has said he is excited about the cast and the talent the members  present.

The show will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Vashon High School theater; tickets are $18 and will be sold at the door.
