Joseph Kesselring’s classic farce, Arsenic and Old Lace, is a macabre tale of two charming and innocent ladies, Abby and Martha Brewster, who populate their cellar with the bodies of lonely old men whom they have “helped find peace,” and the antics of their nephews: Teddy, who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; Mortimer, the manic theatre critic; and Jonathan, the mad killer with the face of Boris Karloff.
