ABOUT THE SHOW: "Its Sherlock Holmes and Watson vs Son of Moriarity in a race against time to save the life of Holmes himself!" This Comedy-Thriller picks up where the famous stories ended. The Play centers on a death threat against Sherlock Holmes by the supposed son of his late nemesis, Professor Moriarty. Oddly enough, however, Holmes is warned of the plot by Moriarty's daughter, to whom Holmes (who turns out to be quite a ladies man) is strongly attracted. The plot then twists and turns until Holmes finds himself in a dank cellar filled with doom. The play mixes humor and suspense in equal amounts, leading to a stunning final twist that will surely catch audiences by complete and breath-stopping surprise!!
Parental Advisory: This show will have simulated fog and smoke as well as simulated gunfire. Some scenes may be too intense for small children
