'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 premiered 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.

'A superb stage thriller... the hugely enjoyable new Sherlock Holmes adventure from playwright Joel Horwood gives you all you could possibly want... he weaves an admirably widescreen adventure that offers a homage to Conan Doyle's knotty plots, a hefty number of easter eggs, while grafting on a questing post-colonial sensibility and a few tricks nicked from Hollywood... a meaty, satisfying romp' — Time Out

'Succeeds in simultaneously teasing and taking seriously the original' — Guardian
