A play that premiered at TRP. Action moves along, dialogue is how we are accustomed to hearing Sherlock and Watson talk. Though it is short, it has two acts which addresses the "did I get my money's worth?" question; and concession revenue.

The Chetwoods, Sid and this same story line are in William Gillette's Sherlock Holmes play.

My vote is Yes.

I like this one for a lot of reasons. TRP premiere, fast moving and suspenseful. And Irene refers to her being in "School for Scandal" which could follow this play in our 2021 schedule! A little plug for our season!

I agree with Arona and Jean wholeheartedly. I really enjoyed reading this again - and I’ve seen a couple good productions - and I think our audiences will have a delightful time. It’s a yes for me.

I don't think we would have any problem doing this in the arena; as the script notes, a few pieces can establish each set. The narration was less irritating than in many plays because it fits the convention that Watson is documenting the action (and it also covers the scene changes). But overall, I don't really think I'm a Sherlock Holmes fan. It's all kind of silly - like bad science fiction - just change the rules whenever you want to. I may be in the minority, but I'm not really interested in a seeing a production of this.

I think audiences would enjoy this play. Depending on the mix of scripts, I think it should be separated from the Christie. That being said, yes for me.

While I love anything Sherlock, I spoke to Park Square folks and they are continuing to do Sherlock. So, I'm sad to vote no. I think our audience overlap too much.
