SELECT SHOWING
A fantasy based upon a fiction, finds Arthur 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!
A light-hearted and intriguing investigation of the consequences, when fictional characters take on lives and ambitions of their own, quite against the wishes of the author.
In this wryly humorous one man tale, of murder, mystery and the occult the world's greatest detective refuses to leave the stage!
Starring Nigel Miles-Thomas, written by David Stuart Davies, adapted for the stage and directed by Gareth Armstrong; with original music by Simon Slater.
