Arsenic and Old Lace is a dark comedic farce set in Brooklyn, New York in 1941. Spinster sisters Abby and Martha Brewster are known for their kindness and charitable deeds, however, they are also murderers, using a special recipe of arsenic in their elderberry wine to "put their guests to sleep." When their nephew, theater critic Mortimer Brewster, visits, he's shocked to discover their dark secret and must protect his aunts from the police while also dealing with the arrival of his eccentric and murderous brother, Jonathan.
