The Game's Afoot
Ken Ludwig's Holmes for the Holidays is a wickedly funny farce, complete
with ghosts, secret panels, and a Christmas nor'easter thrown in for
atmosphere...add murder and indeed! The Game's Afoot!
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.

William Gillette, 30s-60: Seasoned lead actor, has made a career of playing
Sherlock Holmes and lives the role in the palatial mansion he built. He
adheres t the codes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie.

Martha Gillette: William's mother, who also lives in the mansion. She is a
grand lady of the stage in her own right, and the evening's hostess.

Felix Geisel, 40s: Dear friend and co-actor in Gillette's production
company. A bit of a cad, but what actor isn't?

Madge Geisel, 40s: Felix's wife. Character actress in the group: witty,
sophisticated, and bigger than life

Simon Bright, 30s: Dashing young actor. Quite the charmer, and newly
married to Aggie

Inspector Goring, 30s: Local police officer called in to investigate the
murder. She is a tough cookie and not fooled by all the theatrics.

Daria Chase: A cross between Cruella DeVille and Ricky Lake. Theater critic
who came up the hard way. Soap opera siren who discards men like used
tissue. Ageless.

Aggie Wheeler 20s-30
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Aggie is the ingénue of the company.
Good-natured and kind, Aggie has had tragedy in her past, though she seems
to have dealt with it well, and even moved on.
