Arsenic and Old Lace

by Joseph Kesselring

Get ready for a wickedly funny romp in Joseph Kesselring’s Arsenic and Old Lace. Meet the delightfully eccentric Brewster sisters, who believe their charitable calling involves adding a rather lethal ingredient to the elderberry wine they serve lonely gentlemen. When their unwitting nephew Mortimer stumbles upon his aunts’ peculiar pastime, he scrambles to keep their secret under wraps—while dealing with a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt and another with a notorious past. Filled with rapid-fire wit and unexpected twists, this classic comedy proves that sometimes family ties can be downright deadly—and hilariously so!
