Ken Ludwig’s
THE GAME’S AFOOT;
or Holmes for the Holidays

By Ken Ludwig
Directed by ‘Derby’ Thomas

ABOUT THE SHOW:
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 whodunit by Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo), set during the Christmas holidays.

CONTENT WARNING: This production contains flashing lights including thunder and lightning effects, gun shot sounds, minor profanity, violence, and a dash of murder, of course. Parental discretion is advised.

KEN LUDWIG’S THE GAME’S AFOOT is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
