Sherlock Holmes has a thrilling new case to solve this June, thanks to the pioneering cast of Blue Apple Theatre. Sherlock Holmes and the Thief of Antiquity runs at Theatre Royal Winchester on 11 and 12 June, with an additional live-streamed performance.
You’ll see a blend of Victorian intrigue with classical theatre traditions in this original tale, as Holmes and Dr Watson face their arch-enemy Moriarty, who has plunged London into chaos.
Racing against time, the duo must solve a series of riddles delivered by a Greek chorus—eight masked messengers inspired by ancient theatre—before Moriarty can unleash his most audacious plot yet. Audiences are invited to join in, helping Holmes and Watson unravel the clues before disaster strikes.
Access and inclusion are at the heart of the production:
All performances feature live captioning projected above the stage.
A downloadable visual story will be available to help audiences prepare.
A free Touch Tour for visually impaired or anxious audience members takes place on Thursday 12 June at 11 am, offering a tactile introduction to the set and props.
