SHERLOCK Holmes’ trusted assistant Dr Watson has been tasked to solve a crime without the help of the great detective in a new play coming to Warminster next weekend.
Devil’s Drum Productions will tour a new play, Life After Sherlock, a play in two acts by Mike Grogan.
The production company is performing 21 shows at 17 theatres in the south of England with a cast of seven playing 11 different roles.
They are appearing at the Athenaeum Centre in High Street, Warminster on Saturday, May 11. Doors open at 7pm.
Unusually for a Sherlockian drama, the plot of this new play centres on Dr John Watson and not the great detective, who has retired to the South Downs to become a beekeeper, although Holmes does appear quite a lot in the play.
Dr Watson discovers that his late wife Mary Morstan may have passed in circumstances that were not as originally thought and that other aspects of her life may not have been as they seemed!
With the help and support of old acquaintances such as Inspector Lestrade and Mrs Hudson, Watson uses his retired friend’s old deductive techniques to try and solve the mystery for himself.
The story twists and turns and takes Watson from Baker Street to clandestine meetings across foggy London and also to a séance.
Tickets are £12/£11(concessions) from the Athenaeum Centre box office on 01985 213891.
