​Originally commissioned by the Conan Doyle Collection and premiered at The Round Tower, Hotwalls, Portsmouth as part of the 'Summer of Sherlock 2019' festival.

Set in contemporary Baker Street, join Lantern Light for a thrilling adventure into the criminal underworld with Miss Sherlock Holmes and her loyal companion Dr. Jane Watson.

Across three separate evenings Miss Holmes is visited at home by: a desperate woman searching for her boyfriend, a terrified robbery victim and the dark and deadly villain known only as 'The Colonel'.


A unique and rarely performed triple bill of three short Sherlock Holmes stage plays by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his contemporaries:


'The Crown Diamond' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
'The Painful Predicament of Sherlock Holmes' by William Gillette
'Christmas Eve' by S.C. Roberts

Bookended with the story of homeless teen Billie and how she came to live and work with the famous detective.

Drugs, danger, diamonds - all just a standard night in for Miss Sherlock Holmes...!
