Arsenic and Old Lace (2007)

Joseph Kesselring's comedy introduces the Brewster sisters (played by Dixie Carter and Mia Dillon), their nephew Teddy – who believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt – and their drama critic nephew Mortimer, who is as surprised as anyone to learn that his maiden aunts have taken it upon themselves to commit murder with a glass of arsenic-spiked elderberry wine.

Making this production especially strong is the Alley's fabulous cast, starting with Carter's very spunky Abby. Carter's Abby might be elderly, but her carriage is full of girlish grins. And she moves with a flirty, coltish grace that is utterly charming. ~Houston Press
