BREAKDOWN
The cunning of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle meets the wit of Oscar Wilde when Wilde brings his dear friend, celebrated actress Lily Langtry to Baker Street. The mastermind detective Sherlock Holmes must solve a case that threatens not only the English Crown, but his own life as well as he finds himself face to face with his greatest nemesis, the “Napoleon of Crime”! This is a mystery with comic elements. Dialects and a sense of style are a necessity.
