In 1941, New Yorkers were looking for some entertainment to take their minds off of the war in Europe and the growing fear that America would be pulled into it. On January 10, 1941, Broadway gave them exactly what they were looking for in the form of a hilarious new play by Joseph Kesselring: Arsenic and Old Lace. The play became an immediate critical and popular success, running for 1,444 performances. It also became a hit in England in 1942 as theatergoers who were suffering through London post-blitz lined up for tickets. In 1944, Hollywood produced a film version starring Cary Grant that became a huge box office success. The play, a clever combination of the farcical and the macabre, centers on two elderly sisters who are famous in their Brooklyn neighborhood for their numerous acts of charity. The two women are accompanied by their nephew who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt, and who frequently blasts a bugle and charges San Juan Hill, otherwise known as the staircase. Matters get complicated when a second nephew, a theater critic, discovers a messy secret and a third nephew appears after having just escaped from a mental institution. In his adroit mixture of comedy and mayhem, Kesselring satirizes the charitable impulse as he pokes fun at the conventions of the theater.
