About Sherlock’s Excellent Adventures
Our Star Theatre Company present their acclaimed comedy following sell-out runs at Brighton and Edinburgh Fringes and three UK-wide tours. Mystery fans can follow Sherlock Holmes and his incomparable sidekick, Dr John Watson, on this riveting, hitherto unpublished case.
Damsel in distress Lucy Matravers engages Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth Holmes and his partner Watson to resolve a dispute over a family will. Little do they know that this small case brings Holmes straight into the clutches of his arch-enemy, James Moriarty.
Starting life on the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe circuit, Our Star Theatre Company embarks on their UK-wide tour for this riotous spoof. Taken on by four actors and minimal furnishings, this show guarantees audiences a ton of jolly-good fun!
