It’s Christmas. There’s a country house. There’s a murder. And everyone has a secret.
When Broadway star William Gillette invites his fellow cast members to his lavish home for Christmas, he expects an evening of champagne, wit and theatrical mischief. Instead, the festivities take a deadly turn when one of the guests is murdered.
With the killer still inside the house, Gillette decides to turn the evening into a real-life version of the mystery he knows best: Sherlock Holmes. But as the snow falls and the suspects’ secrets begin to unravel, the line between acting and reality becomes increasingly blurred.
Packed with murder, mayhem, mistaken identities and plenty of laughs, The Game’s Afoot is a deliciously clever Christmas murder mystery with a wickedly comic twist that will keep you guessing right up to the final curtain.
The game is afoot. But who will survive?
KEN LUDWIG’S THE GAME’S AFOOT is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
