'Postmortem' Being Held at Waukesha West High School

Editor's Note: The information about the Waukesha West High School play was provided to Patch by Waukesha West High School students. Video and photos were taken by Waukesha Patch.

Waukesha West High School's play Postmortem is being held this weekend.

Set in April 1922 at the Connecticut country estate of an actor, William Gillette, who is famous for portraying Sherlock Holmes, the plot revolves around guests who were present a year prior when another guest allegedly committed suicide and who have reassembled on the anniversary of that tragedy. However, Gillette believes it wasn't a suicide but rather a murder. The show has all the ingredients of a proper murder mystery: jealousy and revenge, accusations of murder, even a seance. This whodunit is a love story, comedy, historical drama, a parody of dinner party murder mysteries, and homage to Sherlock Holmes.

When:

• Thursday; 7 p.m   
• Friday; 7 p.m.            
• Saturday; 7 p.m.

Where:

Waukesha West High School (3301 Saylesville Rd, Waukesha, WI 53189)
