"The legendary sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, takes the stage in this witty,
fast paced production by the acclaimed Aquila Theatre. The clever Holmes
skillfully maneuvers the twisted web of London's most intriguing cases
with his split second deductions revealing the most intimate details of a
person's life. Sherlock is a master of disguise and a brilliant actor,
as well as a composer and musician - is there anything Sherlock Holmes
can't do? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's vivid characters jump from the page
weaving a tale of suspense and intrigue. In addition to Holmes, many of
Doyle's other well known creations are on hand such as; the trusted
sidekick Dr. Watson and Irene Adler,
the woman who got away,
and the only woman to have won Sherlock's respect. Doyle, in addition to
being an author, was also a physician. He infused Holmes with terrific
skills in forensic science and logical reasoning. One hundred and twenty
five years after his debut, Sherlock Holmes remains the definitive and
most famous detective in world literature. The Aquila Theatre brings its
energetic physical style to this new adaptation for the theater. With
actors drawn from the top British and American stages,
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a thrilling and memorable ride."
Of course, there is at least one member of the Original Tree Worshippers who would disagree with this assessment of Irene Adler as "the only woman to have won Sherlock's respect," a particularly odd statement in a play that also features Violet Hunter. For more on Adler, see:
