Cunard Showcases

Watson is alone. His beloved wife, Mary, and the great Sherlock Holmes are gone. London seethes with false reports. It is time to set the record straight. So Watson tells his tale of long-buried secrets, betrayal, and death – a journey across Europe pursued by Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime, leading to a deathly embrace at the Reichenbach Falls.

Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the one-man play Watson is performed by Tim Marriott (star of BBC’s The Brittas Empire).
