Sherlock Holmes And The Poison Pen Letter

    by Simon Rayner Davis



Synopsis

logo-na-100x100.jpg

When Mrs Hudson puts a stop to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson flashing in front of her windows little did they know they would find a dead body in the middle of the living room on the chaise longue.

Suddenly a distressed actress, Sarah Moaney bursts in to suggest the body is her thumbless uncle, Justice Fingers. But is this just an act, or is it part of that insane arch villain’s plot (the mention of whose very name strikes terror into the hearts of all decent people) to wreak diabolical revenge on the detective duo?

Whilst Holmes and Watson have rushed off to police headquarters to tell them what’s afoot at the Yard, the body is finally revealed to be none other than that insane arch villain, Moriarty.

With the unexpected arrival of Inspector Lestrade and his identical twin brother things take an even more complicated turn when Moriarty and Mrs Hudson change places. Will Moriarty triumph or will Doctor Watson keep standing on Sarah Moaney? Will Mrs Hudson get to show Holmes her complete service or lay on a turkey?

The play proceeds at breakneck speed via outrageous puns and plot twists to a denouement (of sorts) that will leave you baffled, but hugely entertained.
