The play has some fun with the legendary character Sherlock Holmes. It tells the story of Broadway star William Gillette, who plays the leading role in the smash hit Sherlock Holmes. Gillette invites his fellow cast members to his home to celebrate the holidays. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in Gillette’s isolated Connecticut castle quickly turn dangerous. Luckily, Gillette has played Sherlock Holmes on the stage and knows exactly what to do to nab the killer before the next victim appears.
