Sherlock Holmes & The Hunt for Moriarty

Blackeyed Theatre in association with Theatre Royal Winchester and South Hill Park presents Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty
Adapted by Nick Lane from the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Composer – Tristan Parkes

“When you have one of the first brains of Europe up against you, and all the powers of darkness at his back, there are infinite possibilities.”

London, 1901. As the British Empire wages war in the name of a Queen whose health is failing, a series of mysterious events reveals a crack in the high corridors of power. A crack that threatens to destabilise monarchy, government and Empire. And at its centre, controlling the flow of information and influence, a shadowy figure plans a final deadly move.

Drawn into the game and unsure who to trust, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves confronting figures from their past in a desperate race against time, aware that the most powerful person in the world could be in the pocket of one of the most corrupt. But just how much is Holmes willing to sacrifice as he faces ‘checkmate’?

A thrilling adventure based on the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty is a world premiere that combines powerful performances, a haunting soundscape and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience.

“One of the most innovative, audacious companies working in contemporary English theatre” – The Stage
