Comedy - Who's Out to Get Sherlock Holmes?

London, November 1895. The legendary detective Sherlock Holmes finds himself in the worst possible predicament: he is about to be sentenced to death for a double homicide!

The evidence gathered by that dim-witted Inspector Lestrade is overwhelming. The problem: Holmes’s recent memory has serious gaps, preventing him from proving his innocence… or from realizing that he is, in fact, guilty! Are the people around him—Mary and John Watson, his brother Mycroft, or his landlady Mrs. Hudson—hiding a role in this murky affair?

In this show set to the rhythm of live piano music, it’s the audience who embody Sherlock Holmes’s brain! Using your powers of observation and deduction, you’ll have to sort out fact from fiction as you face a cast of six colorful characters.

It’s the audience that decides and chooses the show’s ending!
