An Evening with Sherlock Holmes at Placer Repertory Theater

Romance, comedy and detection are afoot at the Placer Repertory Theater one-night-only event An Evening with Sherlock Holmes, in which audiences are encouraged to dress up, see the adventurous stage reading of a new play and meet the actors, director and playwright in a post-show Q&A on Saturday, November 13, 7 p.m., at the Roseville Veterans Hall. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.com (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/182994420237).Based upon the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, T.S. Forsyths play Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of the Four humorously explores the passive-aggressive nature inherent in close relationships. The dueling narrators, Holmes & Watson, recount the famous case of The Sign of the Four, while squabbling over their opposing viewpoints, even as both characters struggle for power and status within the relationship, to comedic effect. An ensemble cast of six professional actors portray the many colorful characters who inhabit this exciting play of stolen treasure, treachery, romance, detection, chase scenes, wooden legged men and the long shadows of bad deeds.
