No literary character, not even Count Dracula, can compete with Conan Doyle’s enduring and beloved Sherlock Holmes. This most recent entry into the Holmes canon is based on the 1899 play written by Conan Doyle himself. The story weaves threads from several of Conan Doyle’s stories into a thrilling account of the Holmes/Moriarty ultimate confrontation. The ever-present and reliable Dr. Watson finds himself dragged into Holmes’ latest plot to capture Moriarty for good, and to resolve the affairs of the woman he pines for, the singer Irene Adler. Through Holmes’ deductive reasoning, outlandishly precise attention to detail and uncanny ability to escape trouble at the last minute, the game (which seems to be perpetually ‘afoot’) is won. Or is it?
