Fitz Theatre is proud to present its first production since its revamp, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Gillette's 'SHERLOCK HOLMES'! π
Following its relaunch at the beginning of Michaelmas Term 2023, Fitz Theatre is looking forward to presenting Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Gillette's 1899 drama 'Sherlock Holmes' - its first production of the 2023/24 academic year.
Follow world-renowned private detective Sherlock Holmes as he tackles a crime more shrouded in mystery than ever before. When a prince's incriminating letters become the centre of interest after being entrusted to his former lover's sister, issues entail when crooks attempt to get hold of them. Throw in a calculated mastermind, a handyman with a history of crime, and a loyal pageboy amongst many others, and the crime becomes ever more confusing to crack. Who is to be trusted? Who is the culprit? One thing's for sure: it is up to the world's greatest detective to get to the bottom of this crime.
A four-act play consisting of a large ensemble cast, Doyle and Gillette's production offers both comedy and drama and keeps audiences hooked until the very end with plot twist after plot twist. Dubbed the 'the crΓ¨me de la crΓ¨me of Sherlock Holmes' (New York Journal and Advertiser), the show is sure to intrigue, excite and shock.π΅οΈ
