Arsenic and Old Lace
by Joseph Kesserling | Presented by Stage It Productions
Arsenic and Old Lace, written by Joseph Kesselring, has long been a staple of Broadway classic comedies, made even more famous by the film version starring Cary Grant. Set in the 1940s, this is a dark comedy that centres around the members of the Brewster family and their homicidal tendencies. Mortimer Brewster is a drama critic who is juggling his “crazy” family, including what appears to be two harmless aunts, a rather incompetent local police force, all the while trying to marry Elaine, the woman he loves.
The director and founder of Stage It Productions, Finola Doyle O’Neill has adapted the play to a more ‘genteel’ British setting, replacing wine with copious cups of tea, while still maintaining its wartime setting and its unrivalled humour.
