1916. Drawn from two years of Sussex retirement for the funeral of his friend, Dr Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve the last act of his epic career. A theatrical evening then unfolds, with fourteen characters all played by Nigel Miles-Thomas in a tour de force performance. Cross-examinations, heated arguments between Holmes and Watson, and all manner of comic and serious interactions, between many famous Conan Doyle characters. As the play concludes the great detective reveals a shocking secret. Written by Conan Doyle expert David Stuart Davies, directed by award-winning Gareth Armstrong.
