Breathtaking mystery and high hilarity in equal parts, this play tells the story of Broadway star William Gillette, who 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. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, who just happens to think he’s Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears.
The Game’s Afoot was written by Ken Ludwig and the play was the winner of the 2012 Edgar® Award for Best Play from the Mystery Writers of America. The MRT production is being directed by Tatum Love and produced by Kelly Baxter. Ken Ludwig's "The Game's Afoot" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
The two-hour, two-act show with a 15-minute intermission will serve up both danger and laughter in a glittery who-dun-it. You’ll be left guessing right up to the very end.
