Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure
Adapted by Steven Dietz, Based on the original 1899 play
by William Gillette & Arthur Conan DoyleWINNER OF THE 2007 EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST MYSTERY PLAY
“This witty, well-crafted script is very much an homage to Conan Doyle, and the play’s greatest pleasure is seeing his iconic characters brought to life.”—The Arizona Republic
“You don’t have to be a scholar of detective stories to enjoy the script Dietz has crafted—there’s enough intrigue and adventure, and even a touch of romance, with the inclusion of Irene Adler, a woman who is Holmes’ intellectual equal.”—BackStage
The world’s greatest detective is approaching the end of his career when a case too tempting to ignore presents itself. A king is about to be blackmailed over a notorious photograph, and the woman at the heart of the crime is opera singer Irene Adler. With his trusted associate , Dr. Watson, at his side, Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of Miss Adler. In doing so, he marches straight into the lair of his long-time adversary, the villainous Professor Moriarty.
