Holmes and Watson: The Farewell Tour
By Stuart Fortey
Julian Finnegan as Holmes and Dominic Goodwin as Watson
Directed by David Robertson
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...?
