When Joseph Kesselring’s modern farce classic, Arsenic and Old Lace, opened on Broadway in August, 1941, it was in the midst of a string of socially-aware dramas. Audiences were delightfully surprised with this twisted little property and Arsenic became a much needed escape for the nation – so much so that it ran for over three years before being made into a highly successful Frank Capra film starring Carry Grant, released in 1944. It is a laugh out loud tonic we need again in this crazy world.
The plot revolves around the comings and goings at the old Brewster home in Brooklyn, New York, where a pair of dear, dotty old gals mix up a very special elderberry wine. Very Special!
