Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is a comedy written by Joseph Kesselring. Abby Brewster (Josephine Hull) and her sister Martha (Jean Adair) are two nice, sweet old ladies who murder nice, sweet, lonely old men by offering them elderberry wine laced with arsenic. They think they are doing the men a service, saving them from a life of lonliness and providing them with a beautiful Baptist funeral and burial in their basement. Complications arise when their nephew Mortimer discovers waht they've been up to. The plot thickens when Mortimer's criminally dangersous brother Jonathan and his sidekick Einstein return home. Add to the mix the aunt's brother who believes he's Teddy Roosevelt and you have one of the most entertaining and unusual farces created in the 20th century.
