Sherlock Holmes

'Solve this, Sherlock. It may be a game to you; it isn't to me.' London, 1890. Fresh from the success of his first big case, Sherlock Holmes misuses his time, until an unknown woman and a mysterious jewel arrive at 221b Baker Street. As the chase begins, and with lives on the line, can the consulting detective – and his loyal confidant, Dr John Watson – pull back the curtain on the big show and reveal the mastermind behind this deadly conspiracy? A thrilling new adventure based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's immortal characters, Joel Horwood's Sherlock Holmes premieres at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Sean Holmes. With more than forty memorable characters, it offers exciting opportunities for any drama group or theatre company looking for a new case to solve.
