SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE FINAL ADVENTURE Opens at A.D. Players, 9/7

The play, which won the 2007 Edgar Alan Poe Award for Best Mystery Play, will be the Houston professional premiere. Written by one of the most produced playwrights of our time, Steven Dietz, who is currently in residence at the University of Texas Austin, the play had its World Premiere at Arizona Theatre Company in a co-production with Pasadena Playhouse in 2006, and has since played throughout the country. 

The world's greatest detective may have finally met his match. Nothing is as it seems as Holmes takes on a blackmail case involving famous opera singer, Irene Adler. With his trusted companion Doctor Watson at his side, Sherlock Holmes pursues the case right into the web of his longtime nemesis and criminal genius, Professor Moriarty. Fans of Sherlock Holmes will be delighted with this spirited adaptation full of danger, intrigue, wit, and surprise. "The game is afoot, Watson - and it is a dangerous one!"
