London, 1883. Polly Langdale, an aspiring journalist, is looking for her first big story. She pursues Dr John Watson in search of the truth about his friend, the legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes. Through her investigation, we follow Watson’s story from their first meeting to a thrilling
denouement on the top of Tower Bridge, where Holmes comes face to face with the villainous Professor Moriarty, ‘The Napoleon of Crime’.
We are led from the tawdry glitz of the Alhambra music hall to smog-ridden streets and the depths of the newly-opened London underground, with a high-speed boat chase down the River Thames. With an original musical score and a host of memorable characters, this will be a fast-paced adventure for the whole family, performed by a dynamic young cast.
