With their marriage crumbling, a husband and wife acting team try to hold their family's theater company together long enough to get legendary film director Frank Capra to cast them in his film remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. But between a pregnant ingénue and a surprise visit from their daughter, things go horribly and comically wrong. Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced farce that ran for more than 300 performances on Broadway and was written by Ken Ludwig who created the hit comedy Lend me a Tenor. Learn More

More Information About Arsenic and Old Lace
Description
Arsenic and Old Lace is a farcical black comedy revolving around Mortimer Brewster, a theatre-hating drama critic who must deal with his crazy, homicidal family and the local police in Brooklyn, New York, as he debates whether or not to marry the woman he loves. His family includes two spinster aunts who have taken to murdering lonely old men by poisoning them with homemade elderberry wine laced with arsenic, strychnine and "just a pinch" of cyanide; a brother who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and digs locks for the Panama Canal in the cellar of the Brewster home; and a murderous brother who has received plastic surgery performed by an accomplice, Dr. Einstein, to conceal his identity, and now looks like horror-film actor Boris Karloff.
