🧩 About the Show:
It’s game time!
Broadway star William Gillette, famous for playing Sherlock Holmes, invites his fellow cast members to his Connecticut mansion for a weekend of holiday cheer. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the party becomes a dangerous—and hilarious—murder mystery. Gillette, convinced he is Holmes, must solve the case before the killer strikes again.
With danger, secrets, and laughs around every corner, this fast-paced whodunit is a thrilling holiday treat.
