A crime comedy by Joseph Kesselring

Murder runs in the family – and family can be hell, especially in the Brewster family. Behind the endearing façade of the two charming old ladies, Abby and Martha, lies a murderous secret.


When their nephew Mortimer, a frustrated theatre critic, discovers the truth, his already turbulent life is thrown into complete disarray. For, alongside his slightly deranged brother Teddy, two dangerous professional killers, an unsuspecting fiancée, a village vicar and several corpses suddenly appear – all of whom must be manoeuvred through the house as discreetly as possible.


Joseph Kesselring’s *Arsenic and Old Lace* is a classic of black humour: delightfully macabre, fast-paced and full of quirky characters. The arsenic is less frightening than the charming ladies who serve it up.
