Arsenic and Old Lace

AAOLroadsign2015

Riley’s Farm is proud to bring Joseph Kesselring’s brilliant stage play ‘Arsenic and Old Lace‘ to life in our 1880’s Packing shed.

Written in 1939 and brought to Broadway in 1941, Kesselring’s play is heralded as one of the most dynamic and humorous stories ever to unravel on stage.   Just three years after the play’s Broadway debut, director Frank Capra  (It’s a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) brought Arsenic and Old Lace to the silver screen, starring Cary Grant and Priscilla Lane.

Through the test of time, Arsenic and Old Lace has been performed over and over again, bringing laughter and suspense nationwide.

Join us this November and experience first-hand Kesselring’s diabolical and hysterical creation of comedy.

Don’t wait to get tickets, now is the time! Chhhaaarrrrggggeee!
