Synopsis

This volume follows the Redacted stories with a set of stage plays centred on Sherlock Holmes, presented as dramatisations of material connected to Arthur Conan-Doyle as well as reworkings that engage with Shakespeare and Sophocles. Across the collection, familiar cases are revisited and extended, with sequels that broaden the scope into espionage and political intrigue, and appearances that include Mycroft alongside Sherlock Holmes.

Pearson also frames the plays as flexible pieces for performance, whether read privately, broadcast over Zoom, or staged in the classroom or theatre with either small or large casts.
