Description
Murder is a family affair Family can be hell, especially with the Brewsters. Behind the
lovable facade of the two charming old ladies Abby and Martha
lies a murderous secret. When their nephew Mortimer, a
frustrated theater critic, finds out, his already turbulent
life completely unravels. Because alongside his slightly mentally confused brother Teddy, suddenly
appear two dangerous professional killers, an unsuspecting fiancée, a village pastor
and several corpses that must be maneuvered through the house
as unnoticed as possible. Joseph Kesselring's “Arsenic and Old Lace” is a classic of
black humor: delightfully macabre, fast-paced and full of quirky characters.
The arsenic is less frightening than the charming ladies who
serve it.
