Overview

Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic dark comedy that follows Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who discovers a shocking secret about his eccentric family in Brooklyn. While visiting his delusional brother Teddy, who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and his sweet, elderly spinster aunts, Abby and Martha, Mortimer discovers a deadly secret. The situation spirals out of control when Mortimer's dangerous, estranged brother Jonathan unexpectedly arrives with his accomplice, a plastic surgeon, carrying a corpse they need to hide. As Jonathan attempts to turn the house into a criminal headquarters, Mortimer desperately tries to protect his aunts, outsmart his murderous brother, and keep his sanity. Throw in some unexpected visitors, several of Brooklyn's finest and its a night the Brewster family will never forget!
