THE GAMES AFOOT

​

                                     BROADWAY star William Gillette, admired the                                                 world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock                                             Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his                                          Connecticut home for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated fun-palace of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous, not to mention hilarious. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim succumbs. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the  holidays. In other words, this is a damn fun show!
