About This Event

Breathtaking mystery and high-flying hilarity in equal parts, this wild-and-crazy play tells the story of William Gillette, famous for playing Sherlock Holmes for decades on Broadway. He’s invited his fellow cast members to his mansion for a weekend of revelry. But when one of his guests is stabbed to death on that dark and stormy night, it’s up to Gillette to take on the Holmes mantle and track down the killer, before it’s too late for the next victim!

The danger and laughter are both non-stop in this the 2012 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award winner for Best Play.
