Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring is a dark comedy about Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who discovers that his sweet, elderly aunts have been poisoning lonely old men and burying them in the basement. As he tries to deal with his eccentric family—including a brother who believes he's Teddy Roosevelt and another who's a dangerous criminal—hilarious chaos ensues. Filled with witty dialogue, mistaken identities, and macabre humor.
