THE FINAL PROBLEM by Arthur Conan Doyle
Theatrical Adaptation by Alex Dawson
Holmes asks Watson to accompany him on a Continental "holiday" designed to thwart the relentless pursuit of the Napoleon of crime himself, Professor Moriarty. The story culminates with a fateful square off at "a dreadful cauldron of swirling water and seething foam" known as Reichenbach Falls. Period Costumes! Theatrical Lighting! Sound Effects!
