SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE LAST ACT To Have U.S. Premiere At Hollywood Fringe Festival
Written by Conan Doyle expert David Stuart Davies, directed by award-winning Gareth Armstrong, and starring renowned Holmes interpreter, Nigel Miles-Thomas.
The U.S. Premiere of the acclaimed solo show SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE LAST ACT direct from its tour of the United Kingdom comes to the Hollywood Fringe Festival this June.
Written by Conan Doyle expert David Stuart Davies, directed by award-winning Gareth Armstrong, and starring English actor and renowned Holmes interpreter, Nigel Miles-Thomas, "Sherlock Holmes: The Last Act" shows the man behind the myth, exposing the great detective's fears and weaknesses, the devastating consequences of the dramas of his formative years, and, unexpectedly, his cutting sense of humor.
The year is 1916. Drawn from his two years of Sussex retirement for the funeral of his friend, Dr Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve "the last act" of his epic career. A theatrical evening then unfolds, with fourteen characters, all played by Miles-Thomas in a tour de force performance. Cross-examinations, heated arguments between Holmes and Watson, and all manner of comic and serious interactions, between many famous Conan Doyle characters, develop the evening's drama.
