About Arsenic and Old Lace

This hysterical madcap comedy centers on two elderly sisters who are
famous in their Brooklyn neighborhood for their numerous acts of
charity.

Unfortunately, their charity includes poisoning lonely old men who come
to their home looking for lodging.

The two women are assisted in their crimes by their nephew who believes
he is Teddy Roosevelt 

and who frequently blasts a bugle and yells "charge" as he bounds up the
stairs.

Matters get complicated when a second nephew, a theater critic,
discovers the murders and a third nephew appears after having just
escaped from a mental institution.

In his adroit mixture of comedy and mayhem, Kesselring satirizes the
charitable impulse as he pokes fun at the conventions of the theater.

 

The play was written in 1939 but it was made famous through the movie
version starring Cary Grant in 1944.
