Miscellaneous notes from the author
Style:
Unconventional pantomime, parodying Conan Doyle. A variety of characters, a Holmsian plot, plenty of spectacle, songs, dances and a magic trick.
Synopsis:
In the foggy streets of London, somebody is murdering umpires, Princess Freda is in jeopardy and Queen Victoria is not amused. Could this be a dastardly plot from arch villain Moriarty? And why is there a sudden outbreak of false moustaches? Inspector Semaphore and Sergeant Dull are baffled. Sherlock Holmes and the trusty Watson are on the case, but one step ahead of them is Charlie, the leader of the Baker Street Irregulars, and a canine catastrophe called Baskerville.
