After ten years from his first theatre experience working with Mario Monicelli, Geppy Gleijeses will now direct Anna Maria Guarnieri and Giulia Lazzarini in Arsenico e Vecchi Merletti (Arsenic and Old Lace). The writer Mortimer Brewster, a very self-confident ex-bachelor, makes return to his aunts Abby and Martha’s house to tell them of his recent marriage with Elaine Harper. What he discovers, however, is that his lovable, senior aunts are “helping” the tenants they have rented the rooms to in… leaving this life with a smile on their faces, offering them sambuca wine spiked up with a mix of poisons. Mortimer will try to put an end to the madness of his aunts and of his accomplice brother.
