The
year is 1916. Drawn from two years of retirement in Sussex for the funeral of
his friend, Dr Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve ‘the last act’
of his epic career. A theatrical evening then unfolds, with fourteen characters,
all played by Nigel Miles-Thomas in a tour de force performance.
Expect cross-examinations, heated arguments between Holmes and Watson, and all
manner of comic and serious interactions between many of Arthur Conan Doyle’s
most famous characters. Until, as the play concludes, the great detective
reveals a shocking secret. Written
by Conan Doyle expert David Stuart Davies, directed by award-winning Gareth
Armstrong. 1hr 45mins (inc. interval).
