THESE TWO STORIES come from The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, the last of the nine books about the great detective to be written by his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
"The Mazarin Stone", being based on a stage play, "The Crown Diamond", works well as a radio drama. Our script incorporates some devices from "The Crown Diamond". In "The Veiled Lodger" Holmes and Watson are listeners with us to the story of a past crime - but what a story it is! Devotees will recognise elements from Conan Doyle's apocryphal tale "The Field Bazaar".
JIM CROZIER and DAVE HAWKES play Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, with LINDSAY LLOYD, BETH WALTERS, CYRIL BAGSHAW, VINCE WEBB, DEAN HEMPSTEAD, ANGIE BUDD and JESSE POWIS. The violinist, Michael Patton, was recorded by Digital Media Services. The plays were written by M J Elliott, directed by Roger Johnson and produced by Dennis Rookard for Hosiprog Productions.
