By Carissa Meiklejohn - Director - Milford High School

We wanted to do a Sherlock Holmes play in our high school drama club and decided on this one as it suited our cast needs of a large female ensemble. The biggest challenge was the language and large amount of monologues. As our first production back after virtual shows last year, this was more of a challenge than I anticipated. The students had a difficult time memorizing these long passages of exposition. Even my strongest performer (as Sherlock) really struggled with this. It is a lengthy play that can drag if your actors aren't animated enough to carry this type of show.

By Mike Barsalou - Director - Alaska Fine Arts Academy

"I just kept coming back to this [play]. It's a really, really good script...The cast puts their own style into it...That's the fun of it."

Synopsis

Someone is murdering the women of Blackmead Manor, and the fiercely independent female academic community is reluctant to ask for help from outsiders. When Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are drawn into the case, they find their reception as sticky as the mystery they must solve. A servant is found dead, a member of the Blackmead community is missing, and the great detective uncovers links to his arch enemy, Professor Moriarty. Is this merely another interesting case or a fatal trap for Holmes himself?
