SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE HUNT FOR MORIARTY

By Nick Lane

Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Master sleuths and criminal masterminds.

A junior government clerk is found dead on the railway tracks. Papers found in his pocket contain closely guarded government secrets that Mycroft Holmes feels his brother Sherlock should investigate. As the case unfolds, a series of mysterious events lead to a rising body count among ‘The Scoundrels Assembly’. At the centre of it all is a shadowy figure planning one final deadly move in his twisted chess match. The players are ready, the scene is set, but how much will Sherlock Holmes sacrifice as he faces ‘checkmate’?

This thrilling North American Premiere, from the playwright that brought us THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE, brings Sherlock’s most challenging case and arch-nemesis to the Vertigo stage this holiday season.
