Arsenic and Old Lace
It is a peaceful backwater of Brooklyn, USA 'some time ago'. Here live two elderly spinsters who, on the face of it, appear to help everyone and who are loved by all. But they have a little secret that they believe benefits lonely, elderly gentlemen.

It is, however, homicidal – although done in the nicest possible way. They are ably assisted by nephew Teddy, who believes he is President Theodore Roosevelt.

Peace reigns until Mortimer comes across the remains of one the unfortunate gentlemen concerned, and believes it to be Teddy’s work.

At the same time a further nephew, the murderous Jonathan, arrives with a friend and a new face. From here farcical chaos takes over and, as one critic said, it is “Fun on a grand scale ... rattling entertainment”
