Marlon and Jake are back! And they're catching up on the dead authors they've read since they last spoke—some of which they praise, others they don't. From comparing Nella Larson's Passing to the Netflix film, to discussing unsettling stories that linger with you, they cover a lot of literary ground. They also weigh in on longstanding debates like whether they read the book or watch the movie adaption first and the difference between horror and terror.

Meet Abby and Martha Brewster, two charming elderly sisters who poison lonely old men to send them to a better place, in Theatre on the Road’s production of the Joseph Kesselring classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. The play’s hilarious plot unfolds when the Brewster sisters serve their guests a concoction of elderberry wine laced with arsenic and they enlist the aid of their nephew Teddy, a robust fellow who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, to bury the bodies in their cellar. When nephew and theatre critic Mortimer discovers a body, high comedy ensues as he attempts to hide his aunt’s unusual activities from his fiancée, his vengeful brother, a crazed plastic surgeon, and the local police. Hudson Valley Radio Theatre’s production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” includes an exclusive interview with Sara Karloff, the daughter of Hollywood and Broadway legend Boris Karloff. He originated the role of Jonathan in the original Broadway production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” and reprised his role in the 1951 radio version. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/frank-marquette/support

Letos mineva petdeset let, odkar je bil na Borštnikovem srečanju prvič podeljen Borštnikov prstan, najvišje stanovsko priznanje za igralski opus. Prstan se po zgledu izjemne vloge, ki jo ima Ignacij Borštnik za slovensko gledališče – še posebej kot utemeljitelj slovenske gledališke igralske omike –, vsako leto podeljuje izmenično, kot navaja Pravilnik iz leta 1973, »najzaslužnejšemu slovenskemu dramskemu igralcu ali igralki«. V prvi od dveh oddaj, s katerima se posvečamo 50. obletnici podeljevanja Borštnikovega prstana, lahko spremljamo izbrane igralske stvaritve, predvsem dialoge med posameznimi prejemnicami, medtem ko drugo oddajo sestavljajo zvočni posnetki njihovih igralskih kolegov. Pripoved in spomini Toneta Partljiča, dolgoletnega sopotnika Borštnikovega srečanja, prepletajo izbrane odlomke in vzpostavljajo živ stik med nesnovno kulturno dediščino in današnjim dnem. V oddaji so uporabljeni: gradivo iz arhiva RTV Slovenija in gradivo, ki ga hrani Slovenski gledališki inštitut – Gledališki muzej ter zvočni zapisi iz videoposnetkov predstav v avtorstvu Toneta Stojka. Avtorici oddaje sta Petra Tanko in Ana Perne. Zvočno so jo sooblikovali tonski mojstri Radia Slovenija, končno zvočno podobo je oblikoval Miha Klemenčič. Vezno besedilo je brala Lidija Hartman, glasbena oprema: Marko Šetinc. Posneto v studiih Radia Slovenija in Radia Maribor, med julijem in oktobrom 2020. Oddaji 50 let Borštnikovega prstana: Prejemnice in Prejemniki sta nastali v sodelovanju med Tretjim programom RAS in Slovenskim gledališkim inštitutom - Gledališkim muzejem, avtorici obeh oddaj sta Petra Tanko in Ana Perne. Javno predvajanje na 55. Festivalu Borštnikovo srečanje je bilo 13. oktobra 2020, ob 14.05, v zgornji avli SNG Drame Maribor. na fotografiji: Vida Juvan (Borštnikov prstan 1977) in Elvira Kralj (Borštnikov prstan 1970, prva prejemnica nagrade) v: Joseph Kesselring, Arzenik in stare čipke, režija Žarko Petan, Drama SNG v Ljubljani, sezona 1963/64.

Serial killing would seem to be rather ghoulish subject matter for a comedic play, yet Arsenic and Old Lace has been a reliable audience-pleaser for over seventy-five years. Sonoma Arts Live has a production running through February 10. Joseph Kesselring’s tale of the Brewster sisters and their pension for helping lonely old men meet their maker via a glass of elderberry wine debuted on Broadway in 1941 and ran for 1,444 performances. It starred Jean Adair, Josephine Hull, and Boris Karloff as black sheep Jonathan Brewster. A film adaptation by Frank Capra followed in 1944 starring Cary Grant as Jonathan Brewster. Though the play has since become a staple of the American theater, like an old haunted house it’s starting to creak. Mortimer Brewster (Michael Coury Murdock) returns to his childhood home and his Aunts Abby & Martha (Karen Brocker & Karen Pinomaki). After getting engaged to the next-door preacher’s daughter Elaine (Julianne Bradbury), Mortimer is horrified to discover his aunts have taken on the most macabre hobby. They’re helping lonely old men find “peace” and disposing of the bodies in the basement. Luckily, Uncle “Teddy” (Tim Setzer) believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt and is always willing to dig a new lock downstairs at the Panama Canal for the latest “yellow fever victim.” Mortimer figures he can pin everything on the obviously insane Teddy, but things get complicated when brother Jonathan (Mike Schaeffer) shows up with a physician friend (Rose Roberts) and a body of their own. Director Michael Ross has some good talent at work here. Mmes. Brocker and Pinomaki are delightfully dotty as the sisters, and Setzer invigorates the stage with his every appearance. However, Mr. Murdock is too one-note as Mortimer, showing little range of emotion considering the insanity that’s going on around him. He rarely seems to be “in the moment”, often appearing to be casually awaiting his next line. Ms. Bradbury is far more animated as Elaine, making one wonder what she see’s in Mortimer. Schaeffer and Roberts are two very talented actors, but I’m not sure these were the right roles for them. I found Schaeffer’s menacing Jonathan undone by his distracting John O’Hurley (J. Peterman from Seinfeld)-like voice and Roberts baby-faced Dr. Einstein too youthful to capture the character’s exhaustion and desperation. Nice stagecraft compliments the performances. The black and white set (by Michael Walraven) and costumes (by Janice Snyder) evoke a classic cinema period-like feel. Arsenic and Old Lace is definitely a nostalgia piece, best enjoyed by those familiar with it. ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ runs through February 10 at Andrews Hall in the Sonoma Community Center in Sonoma. Thursday through Saturday performances are at 7:30pm; the Sunday matinee is at 2pm. For more information, go to sonomaartslive.org.

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: March 18th, 1991 --- Wounded MacGyver recovers in the care of sisters who run a bed and breakfast. MISSION: MacGyver steps in a bear trap and finds himself in a Rear Window, Arsenic and Old Lace, Misery scenario at a bed and breakfast plagued with suspicious deaths. This week's highlights include: Arsenic and Old Lace (Film) Arsenic and Old Lace is a 1944 American dark comedy film directed by Frank Capra, starring Cary Grant, and based on Joseph Kesselring's play Arsenic and Old Lace. The script adaptation was by Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein. Capra actually filmed the movie in 1941 because of star Cary Grant's availability, but it was not released until 1944, after the original stage version had finished its run on Broadway. The lead role of Mortimer Brewster was originally intended for Bob Hope, but he could not be released from his contract with Paramount. Capra had also approached Jack Benny and Ronald Reagan before learning that Grant would accept the role. Boris Karloff played Jonathan Brewster, who "looks like Karloff," on the Broadway stage, but he was unable to do the movie as well because he was still appearing in the play during filming, and Raymond Massey took his place. The film's supporting cast also features Priscilla Lane, Jack Carson, Edward Everett Horton and Peter Lorre.
