"Part spoof, part loving tribute and all fun..." -The Register
Sherlock's Last Case picks up where the famous Sherlock Holmes stories ended, illuminating aspects of the master sleuth's character previously ignored. The play centers on a death threat against Sherlock Holmes by the supposed son of his late nemesis Professor Moriarty. Oddly enough, however, Holmes is warned of the plot by Moriarty's daughter to whom Holmes (who turns out to be quite a ladies man) is strongly attracted. The plot then twists and turns with double and triple crosses and shifting identities. In sorting all this out, the play mixes humor and suspense in equal amounts, leading to a stunning final twist which will surely catch audiences by complete surprise.

| Dr. Watson | John Wells |
