Meet Abby and Martha Brewster, two charming elderly sisters who poison lonely old men to send them to a better place, in Theatre on the Road’s production of the Joseph Kesselring classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. The play’s hilarious plot unfolds when the Brewster sisters serve their guests a concoction of elderberry wine laced with arsenic and they enlist the aid of their nephew Teddy, a robust fellow who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, to bury the bodies in their cellar. When nephew and theatre critic Mortimer discovers a body, high comedy ensues as he attempts to hide his aunt’s unusual activities from his fiancée, his vengeful brother, a crazed plastic surgeon, and the local police.

Hudson Valley Radio Theatre’s production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” includes an exclusive interview with Sara Karloff, the daughter of Hollywood and Broadway legend Boris Karloff. He originated the role of Jonathan in the original Broadway production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” and reprised his role in the 1951 radio version.
