Arsenic and Old Lace

"Insanity doesn't run in this family... it practically gallops!"

La semaine derniere, je suis allee voir avec des potes une piece de theatre tres tres chouette de Joseph Kesselring, jouee par une des troupes de theatre de la fac. Une farce noire comme je les aime, brillamment interpretee, et tres drole! Tellement, que j'y ai emmene Matt le lendemain (oui, moi, quand j'aime j'y retourne; et je profite du spectacle differemment, en regardant attentivement les jeux d acteurs, les costumes, la lumiere... encore plus que la premiere fois!)

Ca m'a donne envie de reprendre le theatre des que possible!!!!!!

Voici le resume en anglais (la flemme de traduire)

ARTICLE 19 present a new adaptation of Joseph Kesselring's brilliantly dark farce 'ARSENIC AND OLD LACE' in the Deb Hall on the 17th, 18th and 19th March 2010.
...

It is New York, 1948, and the Old Brewster House is about to explode in a mêlée of mischief, mirth and murder. Mortimer Brewster, an infamous bachelor and misogynist, returns to his childhood home to visit his dear old Aunts and his beloved, if not completely bonkers, brother Teddy, before honeymooning with his all-American girl next door. However, all is not as rosy as it seems and Mortimer soon finds that his two Aunts have a horrible secret... they have been murdering old men and burying them in the house. From here, Mortimer becomes stuck in a world which seems to grow more and more ridiculous with every passing minute, where he alone has to control his murderous Aunts, his new bride, the New York Police Department and the return of his criminal brother Jonathan... who also has skeletons buried in his closet.

"Arsenic et vieilles dentelles" J'ai vu mon frère et des copains jouer cette pièce dans un théâtre de paroisse, dans les années 50. Très bon spectacle.
