Sherlock Holmes and the Poison Wood

Author(s): Book & lyrics by P Burton-Morgan, music & lyrics by Ben Glasstone, adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories Age recommendation: 12+ years

London 2024. Doggedly pursuing success as a private detective, Sherlock Holmes is faced with a new case; an unexplained death in the infamous environmental protest camp at Oakenwood.

Supported by his media-savvy landlady, nutritionist Dr Watson, Sherlock’s keen eye for detail and tireless pursuit of the truth has brought a growing online fandom and an uncomfortable intrusion into his private life.

Delving into the details, Sherlock suspects that arch-nemesis, tech billionaire and international potato magnate Jan Moriarty, is at the root of the case, but the game’s afoot and they must move fast to uncover the truth and foil her plans.

In a world of cancel culture, deepfakes, and digital manipulation, only self-discovery and acceptance can unlock this case.
