The Death & Life of Sherlock Holmes

Saturday 17th May 2008

A dramatic end...a thrilling comeback.

Arthur Conan Doyle tires of his famous sleuth and uses the arch villain Moriarty to dispose of him. But just as raising the spirits of the dead becomes an obsession in the author's own life, so his fictional creations return to thrill, intrigue and dazzle us.  A wry tale of murder, mystery and the occult.
