This was the 2nd instalment of our Sherlock Holmes play series. It was my pleasure to work with this group again! Dr. Watson attempts to cure Holmes’ cocaine addiction. Along the way, he reveals to us that everything he wrote about Holmes’ duel to the death with arch-foe Professor Moriarty was pure fiction. Come see what really happened. Nicholas Meyer’s bestseller The Seven-Per-Cent Solution launched the modern tradition of writing new Holmes stories–and TV shows and movies– as a way of exploring and re-interpreting the always fascinating character of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. -Theatreinchicago.com

Chicago Theater Beat – Highly Recommended "...t’s delightful to watch Holmes and A.S. in action, Sparlings’ splenetic and driven process of elimination a rich contrast to the introspective experimentation of Wichman’s “talking cure.” But then everything clicks—from Ray Toler’s period set to LaVisa Angela Williams’ historical costumes to Laura J. Wiley’s romantic lighting effects. Best of all, playing 18 roles, the crackerjack eight-member ensemble keep the game afoot, with food for thought and thrills galore, plentifully provided. But no “nose candy” whatever." – Lawrence Bommer
