Arsenic and Old Lace

Abigail and Martha Brewster, the spinster heroines of Joseph Kesselring’s Arsenic and Old Lace, love to have lonely gentlemen over for company; one glass of spiked elderberry wine and they add another to their collection of deceased guests. Their nephew Mortimer tries to avoid the family insanity as delusions and homicide contribute to this uniquely American black comedy. Irene Lewis directs.
