Arsenic and Old Lace is a 1939 comedy play by Joseph Kesselring about a drama critic who discovers his two sweet, elderly aunts are poisoning lonely old men. The play is a farce that takes place in the Brewster home in Brooklyn and involves the aunts’ other nephew, who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt, and a third brother who is a murderer. It was first produced on Broadway in 1941 and is best known for the 1944 film adaptation directed by Frank Capra.
