Arsenic and Old Lace - John A. Logan College - Dramatic Production
Arsenic and Old Lace is a play by American playwright Joseph Kesselring, written in 1939. It has become best known through the 1944 film adaptation starring Cary Grant and directed by Frank Capra.
The play was produced by Lindsay and Crouse and directed by Bretaigne Windust, and opened on Broadway at the Fulton Theatre on January 10, 1941. On September 25, 1943, the play moved to the Hudson Theatre, closing there on June 17, 1944, having played 1,444 performances.[1] The West End production directed by Marcel Varnel and produced at London's Strand Theatre enjoyed a similarly long run. Opening on December 23, 1942, and closing on March 2, 1946, it totaled 1,337 performances
Of the 12 plays written by Kesselring, Arsenic and Old Lace was by far the most successful. According to the opening night review in The New York Times, the play was "so funny that none of us will ever forget it."
