“Hilarious pun-heavy heaven” - Audience Member

Before slipping into well-earned retirement, Sherlock Holmes
has prevailed upon his long-time companion Dr Watson, his
landlady Mrs Hudson and Inspector Lestrade of Scotland

Yard to join him in a farewell tour of the British Isles. For the

first time ever they will re-enact one of the detective’s most

baffling unrecorded cases – The Case of the Prime Minister,

the Floozie and the Lummock Rock Lighthouse – an affair

upon whose outcome the security of Europe once hung by a

thread. Shrouded in secrecy until now, this case has finally

been approved by the government for public disclosure.

It is also understood that Mr Holmes has been entrusted
by Her Majesty with the conveyance to the Tower of

London of the fabled Satsuma Stone, stolen

from the crown of William of Orange in the seventeenth

century and only recently discovered in a midden in

Maastricht. It is expected that the evening will include

a glimpse of this priceless gem; in which case, one can

only be thankful that Professor James Moriarty, the

Napoleon of crime, fell to his death at the Reichenbach

Falls. Or did he? Or is he still alive, planning another

deadly strike as he lurks, unseen, in the wings...?
