A brand new Sherlock Holmes caper Sherlock Holmes and the Crimson Cobbles will be at Theatre Royal Winchester on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 October.

Delivered at breakneck pace this is a hilarious, deeply daft theatrical explosion for adults and families alike.

Holmes and Watson are called upon to investigate the Whitechapel murders that are sending shockwaves through London. But when the evidence points to only one possible and ridiculous conclusion about the identity of Jack the Ripper, is our super-sleuth prepared to believe the unbelievable?

This witty, laugh-a-minute pastiche of Conan Doyle’s investigative pair is a fast-paced, physical and raucous night at the theatre.

The cast of three extraordinarily energetic actors revitalise the iconic characters of Holmes and Watson and their colleague fills the gaps playing a multitude of characters switching seamlessly between them with marvellous aplomb!

The production comes from Toby Hulse, writer of Around the World in 80 Days and is based on an original story by David Hastings. The caper has been brought to life by Theatre Chipping Norton, directed by Kirstie Davis and is touring nationally.

Sherlock Holmes and the Crimson Cobbles will be at Theatre Royal Winchester from Wednesday 25 – Thursday 26 October, 7.30pm. Tickets are available from theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk or the Box Office 01962 840 440. Suitable for family audiences. Recommended age: 12 plus.
