SHERLOCK HOLMES & THE SIGN OF FOUR
– a radio play live on stage
“When you have eliminated the impossible then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!”
After their hugely successful portrayals as SHERLOCK HOLMES & DOCTOR WATSON in The Hound Of The Baskervilles, COLIN BAKER (Doctor Who, The Brothers) & TERRY MOLLOY (The Archers, Doctor Who) are back on stage in another classic adventure for the world’s only consulting detective!
Trailer:

“What has become of Captain Morstan and why does his daughter now receive a valuable pearl every year from an anonymous benefactor?
What begins as a curious puzzle soon becomes a terrifying murder hunt, with the discovery of a missing fortune, a locked room and the murdered body of Bartholomew Sholto – but who committed these heinous, inexplicable crimes and how do they involve a map of the far-off Agra Fort?
The case of The Sign Of Four stretches all of Sherlock Holmes’ powers of deduction in a mystery that was born in war-torn India and now stalks Victorian London, fuelled by the vengeance of a seemingly unstoppable,
cut-throat band.
With the help of the Baker Street Irregulars and Doctor Watson’s new love Mary, can Holmes finally bring the gang’s malicious leader to justice, recover the stolen treasure, and reveal the hideous truth behind the riddle of
The Sign Of Four?”
Presented by Crime And Comedy Theatre Company as a radio-play-live-on-stage. Our setting is a radio studio, our actors ready as if for a radio broadcast, and our sound effects created live, all combining to transport the audience to Victorian London, as we bring to life this classic tale from the father of the modern detective story, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
A rare chance to see these popular actors live at your local theatre, this is a play not to be missed!
