Jenny Wren Productions present
SHERLOCK HOLMES And the Mystery of the Governor’s Nose
Adapted by Matthew Bassington and Aidan Mosby from two short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Extra! Extra! Painting stolen from distinguished art gallery!
Everyone’s favourite detective duo (no, not Shaggy and Scooby) are given the Jenny Wren treatment.
Holmes and Watson are called upon to investigate the disappearance of a legendary painting, The Governor’s Nose. But all is not as elementary as it seems. As mysterious forces – and an assortment of shady characters – work to undermine our heroes, they need all the wit, guile, and deduction capabilities in their arsenal, along with the help of the steadfast Mrs Hudson and Detective “Always-One-Step-Behind” Lestrade.
The hour grows late. The paint has dried. The game is afoot.
Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Governor’s Nose is a comic new play, based on The Naval Treaty and The Man with the Twisted Lip, with apologies to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
In the open-air – please bring a blanket or chair.
