CTC Opens THE SPECKLED BAND: AN ADVENTURE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES Tonight
The Classical Theatre Company's (CTC) presents The Speckled Band: An Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, tonight, February 4 - 22, 2015.
This play, penned by Doyle himself in 1910, dramatizes one of the Great Detective's most famous mysteries: The Adventure of the Speckled Band.
"I have idolized the character of Sherlock Holmes since I was a young child," says CTC artistic chief John Johnston, "and the opportunity to portray one of my literary heroes on stage is a real thrill."
Adapted by Timothy N. Evers, whose adaptation of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, the CTC produced in February, this script will be streamlined and have a contemporary feel about it. Set to star Johnston in the titular role, and directed by CTC veteran, Troy Scheid, this production will capitalize on the Sherlock-mania that is gripping pop culture right now, while breathing new life into Doyle's century-old play.
The Classical Theatre Company is dedicated to boldly re-envisioning classical drama on the stage, in the community, and in the classroom through engaging and enlightening plays - bringing them new life and relevance while maintaining the integrity that the works deserve.
