    Joseph Kesselring's classic farce, Arsenic and Old Lace, is a wonderfully macabre tale of two charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the bodies of lonely old men whom they have 'helped find peace.' Arsenic and Old Lace tells the hilarious story of spinster sisters Abby and Martha Brewster, two nice, sweet old ladies who murder nice, sweet, lonely old men by offering them elderberry wine laced with arsenic. The sisters' crazy but harmless nephew Teddy, who sports a large mustache and a pince-nez, believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and is in the habit of charging up the staircase as if it were San Juan Hill. Teddy digs graves in the Brewster cellar, burying the sisters' victims whom he believes are yellow fever casualties working on the Panama Canal. Complications set in when their nephew Mortimer learns of the sisters' activities; and matters get more farcical when another Brewster nephew, Jonathan, a criminal on the lam, along with the strange Dr. Einstein, arrive with the body of their latest victim.
