Sherlock Holmes: The Death and Life

About the show

A wryly humorous one-man tale of murder, mystery and the occult in which the world's greatest detective refuses to leave the stage!

A fantasy based upon a fiction, the show finds Arthur Conan Doyle tiring of ‘his’ intolerably arrogant Sherlock Holmes, and inventing the arch villain, Moriarty, to dispose of him.

But Doyle's dangerous strategy (combined with his passion for raising the spirits of the dead) has more dramatic consequences than he bargains for!

This acclaimed performance is a light-hearted and intriguing investigation of fictional characters who take on lives and ambitions of their own - quite against the wishes of the author.
