Shaw Festival 2024 News ~ Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Human Heart

“This is the endgame, Watson. Night falls, and the spider reveals himself. “

Sherlock Holmes has never met a villain so clever, so compelling and so lethal. Has Holmes finally met his match? Find out in this new play by Reginald Candy, which delves deeper into the lives of the legendary detective, his trusted confidant Watson and Mrs Hudson, the landlady of 221B Baker Street. It’s the third in our series, and it’s filled with enough twists and turns to leave even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle guessing what happens next. The game is afoot!
