“Arsenic and Old Lace” is a play by American playwright Joseph Kesselring, written in 1939. It has become best known through the 1944 film adaptation starring Cary Grant and directed by Frank Capra. The play is a farcical black comedy revolving around the Brooklyn, New York-based Brewster family, descended from Mayflower settlers but now composed of maniacs, most of them homicidal.
