Sherlock Holmes & The West End Horror, a mystery by Anthony Dodge & Marcia Milgrom Dodge adapted from the novel The West End Horror by Nicholas Meyer is about a despicable theatre critic has been murdered, and Holmes and Watson are soon visited by George Bernard Shaw, an aspiring Irish playwright who entices Holmes to take the case. As they cross swords with the most famous literary luminaries of the day — Oscar Wilde, Gilbert & Sullivan, Henry Irving, Bram Stoker, and a young H.G. Wells, Holmes and Watson come face to face with their own celebrity as they pursue the killer in this rollickingly funny whodunit.

THE POST-MODERN GALLIMAUFRY KEEPS YOU LAUGHING… THIS IS A FUNNY PLAY, BUT MORE OF A LOVING PASTICHE THAN A SLASHING SATIRE…ANTHONY DODGE AND MARCIA MILGROM DODGE CLEARLY KNOW AND LOVE THEIR SHERLOCK HOLMES. AND WHILE YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AN ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE ADDICT TO ENJOY THIS PLAY, IT’S A FAIR DEDUCTION THAT IT HELPS. SHERLOCKIANS SHOULD GET A KICK OUT OF THIS.
