A COMEDY/MYSTERY BY KEN LUDWIG • SPONSORED BY AMERICAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

It is December 1936, and 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 castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays. 

Ken Ludwig has been a favorite of Old Opera House audiences. Some of his plays to grace our stage have included "Lend Me a Tenor", "A Comedy of Tenors", "Moon Over Buffalo", "Leading Ladies", "Fox on the Fairway" and "Postmortem".
