A shame...a nice family like this hatching a cuckoo."
Although these words refer to Teddy Brewster in this hilarious play by
Joseph Kesselring, they could have applied equally to most of the other
members of the Brewster household. Teddy thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt,
always "charging" upstairs when he is not in the basement digging "locks
for the Panama Canal." His two elderly aunts, with whom he lives, also
have their own bizarre secret, for which the hand-dug "locks" in the
basement are employed to good effect. Jonathan, Teddy's "disagreeable"
brother, who disappeared many years ago, returns during the play with
secrets of his own. With his face altered by plastic surgery, he is
accompanied by Dr. Einstein, with whom he plans to set up an operating
room in the house so the doctor can give new faces to criminals. The only
normal person in the family is Mortimer, a drama critic who hates plays,
engaged to marry Elaine, the innocent daughter of the minister next door.

The frantic action, the ironies, the comic routines, and the dramatic
surprises all center around two bodies, hidden at various times in the
window seat of the living room, and the reactions to them by the various
people within the household. The local police, friends of Aunt Abby and
Aunt Martha, stop by to chat, have coffee, and protect these "sweet" old
ladies, often at the worst possible moments, while Mortimer tries to
decide what to do about his strange family and the bodies in the house.
