Ken Ludwig's "The Games Afoot"
A Utah Premiere!... by Tony Award winning author, Ken Ludwig – fresh from his pen to the Hale Centre Theatre stage! It’s 1936 in a country mansion on the Connecticut River. Family and friends gather… an hilarious, mystery thriller ignites! Is it the Inspector, the actor, the fiancé, the sweet young thing or the aged mother? Sherlock Holmes to the rescue!
“Hale Centre Theatre has done outstanding work in producing my shows in the past, and I'm honored that they have chosen my newest play to present at their wonderful theater this season," Ludwig said.
“The Game’s Afoot” begins with famed stage actor William Gillette at his Connecticut castle, recovering from an attempt on his life following a performance of his renowned play, “Sherlock Holmes.” It’s Christmas Eve, and much to his mother Martha’s chagrin, William invites fellow actors Aggie, Simon, Felix and Madge over for the holiday weekend. His elaborate home, filled with gadgets and hidden passageways, becomes the setting for a murder, and Gillette must use the Sherlock Holmes crime-solving skills he made famous on stage to catch the culprit.
HCT’s “The Game’s Afoot” is directed by David Nieman. The show stars Mitch Hall and David Stensrud as William Gillette (Sherlock Holmes). Costumes were designed by Suzanne Carling; scenic design by Jennifer Stapley Taylor; lighting design by Adam Flitton; production assistance by Tammy Morgan; props by Michelle Jensen; and sound design by Dan Morgan.
The production runs through Feb. 4. Admission prices start at $24 for adults and $15 for children ages 5-11. Tickets may be purchased online at www.halecentretheatre.org, via telephone at 801-984-9000 or at the Hale Centre Theatre box office.
