helping me find places to look would have been just as helpful to me, i'm not exactly asking for the answers, just help to find them.

I really can't help you here -- "Arsenic" is the only play of Kesselring of which I'm aware, so I have no idea what other contributions he made. Certainly, "Arsenic and Old Lace" is one of the truly classic American comedies.
The theme of the play? Yoiks. I dunno...maybe something about how even innocent appearances and the best of intentions can cover up some pretty vile deeds? Although, even as I say it, I find that it sounds way to heavy for what is essentially a light comic romp.
It's also the first play I was ever in...I played Teddy Brewster many, many years ago...wearing what had to be the worst fake moustache in the history of the theatre.

Read it and find out. In other words, it's YOUR assignment, YOU need to do it YOURSELF! Google Kesselring. Get off your behind and do some work for a change instead of asking others to do it for you.

Honestly, I don't know what his lasting importance was, or his contribution beyond the fact that he wrote a funny play about a family. Beyond that...well, it's your paper and I haven't a clue.

Then you have certainly not tried enough. Try harder. Using other people's thoughts instead of your own is plagiarism.
