Starring Roger Llewellyn

In this wryly humorous tale, of murder, mystery & the occult.....’the world's greatest detective refuses to leave the stage!’

‘A fantasy based upon a fiction’, finds Conan Doyle tiring of his ‘intolerably arrogant Sherlock Holmes’, and inventing the malevolent Moriarty, to dispose of him. But Doyle's dangerous strategy, combined with his passion for raising the spirits of the dead, hasrather more surreal and dramatic consequences than he bargains for!

After his international success in ‘Sherlock Holmes.... the last act!’ Roger Llewellyn returns in this spine tingling new play, written by David Stuart Davies, and directed by Gareth Armstrong with original music by Simon Slater.

'An actor completely in charge of his material, his stage and his own artistry, the vocally impeccable Roger Llewellyn achieves an almost old-fashioned, and certainly rare, symmetry of excellence and entertainment' - The Irish Times

'Roger Llewellyn precisely embodies Sherlock, Conan Doyle would have approved'- Time Out, London'

'In these elegant hands, this is Holmes as you've always imagined him - but with a cutting sense of humour'. - Sunday Express

'Llewellyn is a top-notch British actor, this is the finest, most fully realised one-man show I've ever seen'. - Montreal Gazette

'Llewellyn gives a flawless rendition of Holmes' sharp, complicated observations, with great wit & little maliciousness. He will seem real for even the most fanatical Holmesian : a charming & convincing Holmes, one full of shimmering sidelights, with a conviction and a precision that is a delight to behold'. - West New York Daily Press
