"Paul Lehmann's one-man show was a triumph..." In this imaginative new adaptation, two of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories are vividly recreated for the theatre. Using only a handful of props and subtle lighting, the show follows Holmes and Watson as they encounter both high farce and gothic horror in Victorian England. The Blue Carbuncle reveals Sherlock Holmes as a master of observation and deduction. An old hat and a Christmas goose provide the unlikely starting point in the hunt for the thief of a priceless gemstone. Ably assisted by his long-time friend Dr Watson, we follow the two as they pursue a trail of clues through familiar London streets one cold and frosty night. The Engineer's Thumb is a strange, nightmare tale in the best gothic horror tradition. Following an early morning visit to Dr Watson, an hydraulic engineer reveals his story of a night of terror and torment in a lonely country house. Racing against time, Holmes and Watson set off across country to try and bring the villains to justice. Performed by Paul Lehmann Directed by Tony Grahn | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
