Based on an original story by writer David Hastings, this witty, laugh-a-minute pastiche of Conan Doyle’s investigative pair is a fast-paced, physical and raucous night at the theatre, and will tour to venues across England.
Holmes and Watson are called upon to investigate the Whitechapel murders that are sending shockwaves through London. When the evidence points to only one possible and inconceivable conclusion about the identity of Jack the Ripper, is the world’s greatest detective prepared to believe the unbelievable?
Emily Moseley, the play’s producer said: “Sherlock Holmes and The Crimson Cobbles is the most theatrical of theatre experiences. Actors portray two of the most famous literary characters of all time, whilst the third portrays the entire population of London in all of their vivid, eccentric glory.
“Playing with the idea truth and fiction, this is a classic Holmes and Watson caper, fictional characters attempting to solve a series of real murders, and that allows for all sorts of fantastic liberties to be made.”
Sherlock Holmes and The Crimson Cobbles, an adult and family show suitable for ages 12+, runs in The Salberg, Salisbury Playhouse from Tuesday September 12 to Saturday September 16 and will tour nationwide, supported by Arts Council England, until November 5.
