Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace follows Mortimer Brewster, a sharp-witted theatre critic whose life is turned upside down when he discovers a shocking family secret: his sweet, elderly aunts have been poisoning lonely old men — considering it an act of charity!
To make matters worse, his brother Teddy is convinced he’s Theodore Roosevelt and has been enthusiastically digging “locks for the Panama Canal” — which are actually graves in the basement. Things spiral further out of control with the sudden arrival of Jonathan, Mortimer’s long-lost brother, sporting a sinister new face (courtesy of a botched plastic surgery) and a penchant for murder.
With mistaken identities, hidden bodies, and chaotic cover-ups, Arsenic and Old Lace offers an ensemble of eccentric, larger-than-life characters, razor-sharp timing, and deliciously macabre humour. A Broadway hit, it inspired the classic 1944 Frank Capra film starring Cary Grant.
