Sherlock and the Trained Cormorant
Based on an idea by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A hat-swapping romp through Victorian London.
A lighthouse is attacked, the keepers imprisoned, and the light turned off. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson head to Yorkshire to investigate. Meanwhile Mrs Hudson and Mrs Madingley investigate the disappearance of precious jewellery from society ladies’ boudoirs. But could these crimes be linked in some strange way? A fast-moving adaptation designed to be easy to stage and easy to cast.
