Chronicle Concering Books Arsenic and Old Lace

The last couple of years, I've made an effort to fit in a few classic plays between novels and am still amazed at how much I enjoy them. Of the 15 or so I've read, I do believe ARSENIC AND OLD LACE has taken over first place on my favorites list.

The old Brewster ladies are really a hoot! Home is Brooklyn and Martha and Abby are set in their ways with their cadaverous routines, but just as sweet as can be (hehehe) as they welcome prospective lodgers in for a glass of their own special blend of elderberry wine.

Nephew Teddy (Roosevelt that is) resides in the Brewster home too CHARGING around reeking havoc blowing his bugle as he plans attacks on the enemy often retreating down (the cellar) to Panama to dig locks for the canal.

Did I mention that insanity runs rampant in the Brewster family?

Nephew Mortimer often shows up to check on the "old gals" and Teddy, but it's not until he begins searching for the misplaced envelope that trouble really starts to brew!

Wonderfully funny! Superb Ending! (hehehe)

If you have a couple spare hours or need a break from a chunkster you're reading or just need a few laughs, I highly recommend ARSENIC AND OLD LACE!

Mortimer: You can't do things like that. I don't know how to explain this to you, but it's not only against the law. It's wrong! It's not a nice thing to do...what I mean is--well, this has developed into a very bad habit.Abby: We don't try to stop you from doing things you like to do.A delightfully dark comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace has everything you could ask for--sweet, murderous old ladies, more funny moving dead body jokes than Weekend at Bernie's, and a pleasantly insane, bugle-playing

So I thought this movie was just great but the play is EVEN BETTER. Um, how does that work? HOW ARE THEY BOTH SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD?! Ugh. So in love. Honestly, this is one of the most entertaining and fantastic stories I've ever had the chance to read/see. I wish I could've seen the original theatre version since I'm sure Boris Karloff as Jonathan was nothing short of perfect.Honestly, plays are, like, my favorite thing in the world. They are just so easy to read and so, so wonderful. This is

This is such a wonderful idea for a couple of assasins to play with. They did a great job with the film also.

This play/ movie was pretty funny. like if kids these days watched this without learning about it in school probably would laugh because they wouldn't understand the humor. For the time period back then that kind of humor was hilarious with the aunts killing a bunch of old men and think the old men are in hell because they are all alone and depressed with no family left and all that. That was considered hilarious back then because they did it and didn't think anything was wrong with it like when

ABBY. His name's Hoskins - Adam Hoskins. That's really all I know about him - except that he's a Methodist.MORTIMER. That's all you know about him? Well, what's he doing here?

Oh, Mortimer, don't be so inquisitive. The gentleman died because he drank some wine with poison in it.MORTIMER. How did the poison get in the wine?MARTHA.

One of the greatest comedies ever written which spawned one of the greatest comedy movies ever made. This is the great tale of Abby and Martha Brewster, and the various problems they have with their three nephews: Teddy, Johnathon, and Mortimer. A mad cap play where nothing is as it seems. A Pulitzer Prize winner.
