Four County Players presents a seasonal show steeped in mystery for sleuthy theater fans. The Game’s Afoot; or Holmes for the Holidays brings self-referential storytelling to the stage in a comedy set during the Christmas holiday in 1936. Broadway star William Gillette, internationally admired for his performance as the lead in Sherlock Holmes, invites his fellow cast members to a weekend of revelry that quickly goes awry when one of the guests is stabbed to death. Gillette then channels the persona of his greatest role to track down the killer.
$12–20, times vary. Four County Players, 5256 Governor Barbour St., Barboursville. fourcp.org
