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.

JOANNE HULL (Properties/Set Dressing) has designed and gathered props for many ICT shows including Pirates of Penzance, Singing in the Rain and this season’s Noises Off. Those “just right and hard to find” items are special challenges that allow her to indulge and excuse her attraction to thrift shops, garage sales and antique stores – especially those in the Texas Hill Country!
