BATTLE GROUND — The Battle Ground High School Drama Club is set to perform Ken Ludwig's "The Game's Afoot: or, Holmes for the Holidays," a Sherlock Holmes murder mystery comedy set during the Christmas holidays.

It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play "Sherlock Holmes," has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous.
