THE GAME’S AFOOT

 


Westville Theatre Club is proud to present Ken Ludwig’s, “The Game’s Afoot or Holmes for the Holidays”, winner of the 2012 Edgar® Award for Best Play from The Mystery Writers of America.

Breathtaking mystery and high hilarity in equal parts, set in the 1930s, 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 is up to Gillette himself, who just happens to think he is Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and laughter are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Directed by the talented duo Jill Sysum and Maya Olsen.

The cast includes Tyrone O’Neill, Banele Khomo, Liesel Pienaar, K’Lee Gibson; Chris van Selm, Bridget Jeffery, Jilly Sysum and Maya Olsen. Set build, lights and sound by Lloyd Wheatley.

Bring your own food and drinks and your best murder mystery solving skills and come watch this comical play!
