Tabard Theatre presents
A Makin Projects production
Roger Llewellyn
in
Sherlock Homes...
the last act
By David Stuart Davies
with original music by Simon Slater
Directed by Gareth Armstrong
The World's Greatest
Detective confronts the most complex case - his own psyche!
After a triumphant season at the Tabard Theatre last
November, Roger returns with a very different play...
'Sherlock Holmes...the last act!'
It
is 1916. Drawn
from 2 year's Sussex retirement
for the funeral of his friend, Dr. Watson, Holmes returns
to Baker Street to resolve
'the last act'
of his epic career.
The play
explores the mind of the
real man, - not the
thinking machine.
An unexpectedly passionate and secretive man, with a cutting
sense of humour.
Stripping away the infamous clinical façade, Holmes
reveals fears & weaknesses,
and
the devastating consequences of the dramas of his formative
years.
The whole being 'deduced
' from the 'clues'
in Conan Doyle's stories.
"Roger seems born to
play the part, commanding the stage alone while playing to
the audience and unseen characters with humour and panache"
Living in Surrey
"This is a truly
great production, a wonderfully written, beautifully
directed play that perfectly hits the mark that lies between
the play of ideas and the play of entertainment"
