BREATHTAKING MYSTERY AND HIGH HILARITY IN EQUAL PARTS.
Winner of the 2012 Edgar® Award for Best Play from The Mystery Writers of America. In this gripping yet comedic play, Broadway star William Gillette hosts a weekend gathering at his Connecticut castle. When one of the guests is murdered, the festivities take a perilous turn. With Gillette channeling his inner Sherlock Holmes, the race is on to uncover the killer before another victim falls prey to the mysteries lurking within the house of tricks and mirrors. The danger and laughter are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.
