Prepare to be enthralled by Rockway students in grades 9-12, as they take on the world of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. With many supporting actors in the cast, these plays come to life, with British accents and all.
Holmes and Watsons…
What makes our production of these three one-act plays a delight is that we have three different sets of Holmes and Watson. This allows the audience to see three quite different interpretations of the famous sleuth and his biographer.
More About the Play
In Act 1, join Holmes and Watson as they uncover the truth behind one of London’s most recent unsolved mysteries. Based on the story, The Adventure of the Six Napoleons, they must catch a murderer who may be a lunatic, a thief, or really just hate Napoleon. In Act 2, titled Sherlock is Dead, Holmes himself is at the center of a poisonous crime and must rely on a trusted doctor…as long as it’s not Watson.
In Act 3, adapted from the novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, “the game is afoot”. When the body of Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the moors, surrounded by the footprints of a gigantic hound, his friend Dr. Jenna Mortimer fears an old family legend has returned to terrorize the countryside. Concerned for the safety of the heir to the Baskerville estate, Mortimer enlists the help of famous sleuths Holmes and Watson to uncover the truth. With an escaped convict on the loose and suspicious neighbors lurking around Baskerville Hall, Holmes and Watson must race to solve the mystery before the hound can strike again.
