About this event
The world’s greatest fictional detective confronts the most complex case of all – his own psyche. Fine wit, broad humour, high drama – a touch of pathos – ‘elementary’ aspects of this original and entertaining solo play.
It is 1916. Drawn from two years’ retirement after the funeral of his friend, Dr Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve ‘the last act’ of his epic career.
The play explores the mind of the real man; a secretive and unexpectedly passionate man, with a cutting sense of humour.
Stripping away the infamous clinical façade, Holmes reveals fears, weaknesses, and the devastating consequences of the dramas of his formative years.
Written by Conan Doyle expert David Stuart Davies and directed by award-winning Gareth Armstrong.
It shows the man behind the myth, exposing the great detective’s fears and weaknesses, the devastating consequences of the dramas of his formative years, and, unexpectedly, his cutting sense of humour.
