Redbridge Stage Company

Mortimer Brewster visits his bizarre relatives, two elderly ladies, Aunt Abby and Aunt Martha and Teddy who thinks he's Theodore Roosevelt. Each time he goes upstairs he blows a bugle, yells "Charge!", and takes the stairs at a run; he is also digging the "Panama Canal" in their cellar. Mortimer finds a corpse hidden in a window seat, and says that Teddy must be sent to an asylum, as he has killed someone. At this point, Mortimer's sweet aunts explain that they are responsible ("It's one of our charities"). Soon the police are involved as Mortimer frantically tries to cover up and then, to make matters even worse the sinister Jonathan Brewster and his sidekick Dr Einstein show up.
