This diabolically funny play is sure to confound and please all audiences. It takes an amusing fresh look at the heroes, Holmes and Watson, adds the familiar figures of Inspector Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, and the children of Professor Moriarty, and mixes them all with wit, humor and plot twists galore to make a first-rate whodunit.

- Inspector Lestrade – male – age look 40 to 60 – Dutiful if relatively unimaginative Scotland Yard detective with a working class background, a foil for Holmes.
