Grab your magnifying glass and prepare for a night of murder, mystery, and mayhem; get set to laugh out loud as NCRT presents the final production for 2024, The Game’s Afoot, a Sherlock Holmes, festive holiday, comedic, murder-mystery romp written by Ken Ludwig.

 

Set in 1936, the play follows Broadway star William Gillette, world-renowned for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes. Gillette invites his fellow cast members to his opulent mansion for a Christmas Eve celebration. However, the festive mood turns deadly when one of the guests is murdered! With a killer on the loose and everyone a suspect, Gillette channels his inner Holmes to crack the case — but with each clue, things only get zanier. Can our hero solve the mystery, or will the murderer make their grand escape?
