Kristine Nielsen, Sally Wingert to Star in Guthrie’s Arsenic and Old Lace
Kristine Nielsen and Sally Wingert will star in the Guthrie Theater production of Arsenic and Old Lace, to play the Wurtele Thrust Stage, April 9-June 5, with an opening on April 15. Joe Dowling will direct. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
In this farcical black comedy, spinster sisters Abby and Martha Brewster are devoted to charity and family. But the sisters have taken on another project as well – befriending lonely older gentlemen and then poisoning them with arsenic-laced elderberry wine.
Nielsen recently appeared on Broadway in Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, with other Main Stem credits including Les Liaisons Dangereuses, To Be or Not To Be, Spring Awakening, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Greenbird, Jackie: An American Life and The Iceman Cometh. Wingert, a Guthrie regular, is current making her Broadway debut in La Bête.
