EAG to Present THE BLUE CARBUNCLE: A SHERLOCK HOLMES CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE

The Episcopal Actors' Guild will welcome Sign of Four Productions to the Guild Hall stage on Thursday, December 9 for a LIVE and IN-PERSON one-night-only dramatic reading of The Blue Carbuncle: A Sherlock Holmes Christmas Adventure, adapted by Andrew Joffe from the short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Picture it... December. London, 1889. A recently-married Dr. Watson visits his friend, Sherlock Holmes, to convey his Christmas greetings, but both become involved in solving the theft of a priceless gem - secreted inside a goose - which they pursue all over London.

"A charming adaptation...it overflows with the true spirit of the season! Paul Singleton gives us brief glimpses of the emotional loneliness behind the pipe-chomping Holmes' piercing intellect and deftly illuminates the famous sleuth's unswerving moral passion." --BACKSTAGE

Step back in time and experience this festive holiday adventure! Pay-What-You-Will tickets are available at ticketstripe.com/eag-sherlock-christmas. All proceeds will go to benefit the charitable programs of EAG and NYC's professional performing artists in need.

Directed by DeLisa M. White. Featuring Greg Oliver Bodine, Andrew Joffe, Annalisa Loeffler, and Paul Singleton.
