«Arsenic and Old Lace» is the black stage comedy by Joseph Kesselring, published by Mare Nostrum in paperback (72 pages, in Spanish).
Mortimer Brewster, a theater critic opposed to marriage, has just secretly married and takes his wife to visit his elderly aunts. There he discovers that the sweet, seemingly harmless women hide a macabre secret: they poison lonely old men with elderberry wine and bury them in the cellar, while his eccentric cousin Teddy believes he is building the Panama Canal.
The original play was published in 1939. This edition belongs to the Amigo Shakespeare collection (no. 10) and includes a translation by Linn Peterson.
Recommended for fans of classic theater and macabre humor.
