Arsenic and Old Lace
by Joseph Kesselring

Arsenic and Old Lace is the story of the eccentric Brewster family of Brooklyn, N.Y., circa 1939. In addition to the charming old women who poison their victims with elderberry wine, the family includes Teddy, who suffers delusions that he is Theodore Roosevelt and that the Panama Canal runs through the cellar of his home. The locks he digs become convenient graves for the lonely men who fall victims to Aunt Martha and Aunt Abby’s odd flavor of mercy.

When their theater hating critic nephew Mortimer discovers a body under the window seat of his aunts’ home, however, the elderly women ‘fess up to their deeds matter-of-factly and the events of the play become more absurd right up to a surprise ending involving the return of their nephew Jonathan (who has recently undergone surgery to hide his criminal mug) and his alcoholic accomplice Dr. Einstein, a rather confused plastic surgeon.
