Ludwig’s plays have been performed by the Players on two separate occasions and were well received by the audiences who saw Moon Over Buffalo and Leading Ladies. This play deals with a Broadway cast performing an episode of the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes right before the Christmas holidays in 1936. At the end of the performance, William Gillette the actor who plays Holmes is shot when he is addressing the audience. He is wounded and the cast comes to his extravagant mansion in Connecticut two weeks later to cheer Gillette up and to celebrate the Christmas holidays. After all the guests arrive, one of them is killed and with the police and Gillette who insists on playing Holmes in pursuit all of the remaining guests are treated as suspects. Who did it and why? In this one, the butler is given the night off so you cannot blame him. This Samuel French play is produced by David Van Gaasbeek and directed by Shelly Rayborn. The cast includes Zach Donahue as Gillette, Charles Bonakoski, Geri Marken, Madison Witte, Hunter Rapp, Matt Farkas, Kathy Devus and Jim Hagan as the Inspector who is trying to solve the murder while dealing with Gillette who is constantly interfering as he thinks he is actually Sherlock Holmes. This raucous comedy will make you laugh as the characters give confessions before recanting them. No matter what, the ending of the play will totally surprise you.
