Blackeyed Theatre brings Sherlock Holmes: The Valley of Fear to Blackpool Grand, November 1–5.

A mysterious coded message is received, a warning of imminent danger, drawing Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Dr Watson into a tale of intrigue and murder stretching from 221B Baker Street to an ancient moated manor house to the bleak Pennsylvanian Vermissa Valley.

Adapted by Nick Lane and with original music by Tristan Parkes, The Valley of Fear sees Luke Barton (One Man, Two Guvnors, New Wolsey / Nuffield Theatres UK Tour; Misterman, Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse) and Joseph Derrington (The Importance of Being Earnest, MAC Belfast; Animal Farm, Royal & Derngate Northampton), who played Holmes and Watson respectively in Blackeyed’s The Sign Of Four, reprise their roles as the iconic duo.
