The play by Ken Ludwig is set in the Connecticut home of actor William Gillette whose play about Sherlock Holmes has just closed after a long run. Gillette has invited his fellow cast members to celebrate Christmas with him and his dotty mother Martha during which he will try to solve an attempted murder in the manner of his on-stage persona.
