Show dates: Friday-Sundays September 21-October 7 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. -- Kelly Miloro GLTG Administrative Asst. 440-285-7701 officemgr@geaugatheater.org
