Description
Written by Conan Doyle expert David Stuart Davies and directed by award-winning Gareth Armstrong. It shows the man behind the myth, exposing the great detective’s fears and weaknesses, the devastating consequences of the dramas of his formative years, and, unexpectedly, his cutting sense of humour. It is 1916. Drawn from two years' Sussex retirement for the funeral of his friend, Dr Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve ‘the last act’. A theatrical evening then unfolds, with 14 characters, all played by Nigel Miles-Thomas. Features cross-examinations and heated arguments between Holmes and Watson.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

An intense one-man performance that looks at a manic, melancholy Holmes as he examines his relationship with Dr Watson. As a Holmes aficionado, I found this to be a worthy exploration of the character.

You need to be familiar with the Sherlock Holmes stories to appreciate it fully, but this show is a nice way to spend an hour. The actor kept the audience's attention as an elderly, now reminiscing Holmes. The ending was appropriate and effective.
