All the intrigue and suspense of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective stories comes to life in this timeless theatrical adaptation. Originally produced on Broadway in 1899, Sherlock Holmes battles his archenemy Moriarty while he tries to defeat a notorious blackmail plot. Hailed by the press at the time as "thrilling," the play was an enormous success here and abroad. Playwright William Gillette is credited with giving Holmes his trademark curved pipe and his deerstalker cap as well as inventing the line "Elementary, my dear Watson." Theatre Arts Press is proud to present this new edition of the classic Victorian melodrama.
