13th – 18th June 2023
In a blasted world, two survivors – a doctor and an actor – pass the time by staging their favourite story salvaged from the flames: A Study in Scarlet, the origin story of Sherlock Holmes. But when tensions arise around casting, more than dead bodies start to surface…
A brand-new adaptation by playwright and actor Lesley Hart of A Study in Scarlet, the 1887 Sherlock Holmes origin story, marking the first appearance of Holmes and Dr Watson, the most famous detective duo in literature.
Advisory warning – we recommend this play for those aged 10 and over due to strong language.
