THE ORPHANS
by James Prideaux
Directed by Judy MacKeigan
If
you love the Brewster sisters from Arsenic and Old Lace, you will also
love Lily (Melissa Lyle) and Catherine Spangler (Kristina Rivera), who have lived in seclusion in their
hotel room for the past 25 years with their only visitor being their
lawyer (Jeff Caja), who delivers (in cash) the profits from the steel mill they
inherited from their father. Their hotel that was once a gem has become
run down and seedy. Their next door neighbor is a prostitute and the
bellhops lack decorum. The twist at the end will surprise and delight
the audience. It is a touching, warm-hearted and funny story of what
happens when these two eccentrics must finally face the outside world.
