A bit amaturish for my taste, but fun anyway. Worth the price of admission.

There are moments when you'll jump. Guaranteed." --The Telegraph
  • "A Sherlock Holmes who done it kind of mystery packed with suspects and tinged with suspense and laughter." --London Times

Description

This clever thriller by the author of Lend Me a Tenor and Sullivan & Gilbert has delighted audiences nationwide. Actor manager and playwright William Gillette, best known for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in his hugely successful adaptation of Conan Doyle, has invited his sister and the cast of his latest revival of the play for a weekend at his magnificent pseudo medieval castle on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River. For entertainment Gillette has arranged a seance. Now the scene is set for his greatest role. Someone is trying to murder William Gillette and he suspects it is one of his guests. Intrepid, eccentric Gillette plans to solve the case himself a la Sherlock Holmes.
