In this wryly humorous one man tale, of murder, mystery and the occult the world's greatest detective refuses to leave the stage! Read more …
A fantasy based upon a fiction, finds Conan Doyle tiring of his intolerably arrogant Sherlock Holmes, and inventing the arch villain, Moriarty, to dispose of him.
But Doyle's dangerous strategy, combined with his passion for raising the spirits of the dead, has rather more surreal and dramatic consequences than he bargains for!
This spine tingling new play is written by David Stuart Davies, & directed by Gareth Armstrong; with original music by Simon Slater. Starring Roger Llewellyn.
Llewellyn takes command of the range of characters, making the most of the humour in the script and the best of the less dramatic monologues. He has the air of someone very suited to giving staged readings of John Betjeman poetry, playing Sherlock with a warmth that contrasts with the stony portrayal by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Brunton Theatre, Musselburgh from Saturday February 4, 2012. More info: www.bruntontheatre.co.uk
