About Watson: The Final Problem

Listed Under Theatre Events

Watson is alone. His beloved wife, Mary, and the great Sherlock Holmes are gone. London seethes with false reports. It's time to set the record straight. So Watson tells his tale of long-buried secrets, betrayal and death; a journey across Europe pursued by Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime, and a deathly embrace at the Reichenbach Falls. Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Watson is written with Bert Coules (BBC's Sherlock Holmes), performed by Tim Marriott (BBC's The Brittas Empire). 'Superb, authentic, excellent' (BroadwayWorld.com). 'A damn fine play. Impressive' ***** (WeekendNotes.co.uk) 'Gripping' ***** (InDaily.com.au)

Venue 17: Assembly George Square - Studio 3 - George Square, EH8 9LH
