Follow Sherlock Holmes and his incomparable sidekick Dr John Watson on this riveting, until now, unpublished case…
Damsel in distress, Lucy Matravers engages Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth, Holmes and his partner Watson to resolve a dispute over a family will. Little do they know that this small case brings Holmes straight into the clutches of his arch enemy, James Moriarty!
This hilarious spoof is taken on by four actors, minimal furnishings and tons of jolly-good-fun… The game’s afoot!
This is Our Star Theatre Company’s longest-serving show, with 2024 marking the company’s 4th year of this crowd-favourite. Following sell-out performances UK-wide, this show has not disappointed, shining a light on a brand-new take on Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle’s timeless character.
“A whacky, farcical adventure which had the audience laughing and delighting in moments of silliness” The Reviews Hub (Brighton Fringe)
“I mean this as the biggest compliment: The campest Sherlock mystery ever! Wonderful show!” The Stalls Report (Edinburgh Fringe)
