Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories drew on the same Penny Dreadfuls and scandal sheets that inspired the era’s popular songs. Featuring ghostly apparitions, love affairs, madmen, murders, cheats, diamonds, anarchists and much more, both Holmes and the Music Hall mined the Victorian love of the strange, gruesome and bizarre..In this fun-filled evening, music hall duo Hudson and Lestrade (Janet Ayers and Matt Parsons) perform contemporary songs full of Victorian humour and oddness, and author Matt Wingett reads extracts from Sherlock Holmes that share the same Victorian obsessions! Funny, dark, silly and exciting, this hour-plus-long evening of fun, drama, tragedy and silliness is most definitely performed in a Sherlockian mode!
