HERE WE PRESENT two classic investigations from the first volume of Dr Watson's chronicles, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
"The Beryl Coronet" takes Holmes and Watson into a world of high society and high finance. Not for the first time, or the last, they must deal with the indiscretions of a truly illustrious client.
"The Speckled Band" is an altogether darker business - a tale of madness, violence and gothic suspense. Dr Grimesby Roylott (wonderful name!) is one of the classic villains, and the story has consistently ranked among the all-time favourites since it was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1891.
JIM CROZIER and DAVE HAWKES play Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, with ANGIE BUDD, IVOR JEVONS, SARAH BELL, MARK PRESTON and BRIAN ADRIAN.
The plays were written by Chris Drake, directed by Roger Johnson and produced by Dennis Rookard for Hosiprog Productions.
