Packed with laughter and intrigue, Ken Ludwig’s The Game’s Afoot; or Holmes for the Holidays begins with a weekend of revelry at the Connecticut castle of Broadway star William Gillette. Gillette, who fancies himself the real-life Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members for a holiday retreat filled with high spirits and holiday cheer. But when one of the guests is unexpectedly murdered, the atmosphere shifts from festive to dangerously mysterious.
With no one able to leave and secrets lurking in every corner of the house, Gillette must solve the crime before more lives are lost—if his amateur sleuthing can survive the chaos and hilarious comedy, that is.
Set during the Christmas holidays, this uproarious whodunit is a delightful mix of suspense, hilarious comedy, and high-stakes drama.
