The Mystery of The Aunt Polly
A Curiosity in Two Comedic Acts
Written and Directed by Casey Carle
What happens when legendary actor William Gillette ~ famed for bringing Sherlock Holmes to the stage ~ finds himself investigating the mysterious burning of his beloved houseboat, The Aunt Polly?
In this witty and fast-moving theatrical puzzle, set in 1932, Gillette and his alter-ego, Sherlock Holmes, join forces in a playful duel of minds, disguises, and deductions as they interview suspects, trade barbs, and unravel a riverfront mystery.
Packed with period humor, theatrical sleight-of-hand, and clever impersonations, this imaginative new play celebrates the art of acting and the enduring intrigue of Sherlock Holmes. Join us for this one-night-only staged reading ~ Come for the escapism… Stay for the intrigue!
