FREE FILM NIGHT at Rye Books! Thurs. 29th Jan 7.30pm 'Arsenic and Old Lace'

[ryebooksltd]

We hope you can join us for the free screening of 'Arsenic and Old Lace' a seemingly macabre but hilarious film starring Cary Grant and Peter Lorre.

Arsenic and Old Lace is director Frank Capra's spin on the classic Joseph Kesselring stage comedy, which concerns the sweet old Brewster sisters (Josephine Hull, Jean Adair), beloved in their genteel Brooklyn neighborhood for their many charitable acts. One charity which the ladies don't advertise is their ongoing effort to permit lonely bachelors to die with smiles on their faces ? by serving said bachelors elderberry wine spiked with arsenic. This is but the beginning?

Mulled cider, coffee, tea & cake will be on sale

(Arsenic free!)

Best wishes,
