Centenary Stage Company's SHERLOCK HOLMES Moves into its Final Weekend

Mixing the cunning of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's mastermind detective with the sharp wit of playwright Oscar Wilde Centenary Stage Company's Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily moves into its final weekend on the Sitnik Stage. Written by Katie Forgette, Holmes, Watson and Oscar Wilde himself must band together to solve a case rife with mystery, humor and action.

When Wilde brings celebrated actress Lillie Langrty to Baker Street, Holmes and Watson must foil a plot that threatens not only the English Crown but Holmes' own life as he faces off against his arch nemesis, "The Napoleon of Crime". As the mystery unfolds, comedy ensues as Holmes works diligently to solve the case, going so far as to disguise himself as an early version of Lady Bracknell from Wilde's latest play, 'The Importance of Being Forthright', while Watson falls head-over-heels for the Jersey Lily and a wicked professor attempts to bring the Crown to its knees.

Remaining performances are Wednesday, October 19 at 2pm, Thursday, October 20 at 7:30pm; Friday, October 21 at 8pm; Saturday, October 22 at 8pm; Sunday, October 23 at 2pm. Centenary Stage All performances are located in the Sitnik Theater of the Lackland Center.
