teven Dietz’s play based on the original 1899 play by
William Gilette and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The world’s greatest detective has seemingly reached the end of his remarkable career when a case presents itself that is too tempting to ignore: The King of Bohemia is about to be blackmailed by a notorious photograph, and the woman at the heart of this crime is the famous opera singer, Irene Adler.
With his trusted companion, Doctor Watson, at his side, Sherlock Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of Miss Adler—and in doing so, marches right into the lair of his longtime adversary, that malevolent genius of crime: Professor Moriarty.
In this spirited, fast-moving and thoroughly theatrical adaptation,
Steven Dietz presents Holmes at the height of his powers—
surrounded by all the elements that fans of his exploits have come to expect:
danger, intrigue, wit, humor and surprise.
“The game is afoot, Watson—and it is a dangerous one!”
