About this Event
The Games Afoot - or Holmes for the Holidays
It’s another Ken Ludwig play, and another murder mystery - this time a seasonal one!
Acclaimed actor of the 1930s, William Gillette, invites his Sherlock Holmes co-stars to his eccentric
Connecticut mansion for a Christmas Eve celebration. When one of the guests is murdered,
Gillette employs the persona of the master detective he's made famous on the stage.
Despite the title, there are no characters from the original Sherlock Holmes stories in the plot but
the William Gillette character is wearing the usual Sherlock Holmes outfits.
Elementary!
