Synopsis: The world's greatest detective has seemingly reached the end of
his remarkable career when a case presents itself that is too tempting to
ignore: The King of Bohemia is about to be blackmailed by a notorious
photograph, and the woman at the heart of this crime is the famous opera
singer, Irene Adler. With his trusted companion, Doctor Watson, at his
side, Sherlock Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of
Miss Adler—and in doing so, marches right into the lair of his longtime
adversary, that malevolent genius of crime: Professor Moriarty. In this
spirited, fast-moving and thoroughly theatrical adaptation, Steven Dietz
presents Holmes at the height of his powers—surrounded by all the elements
that fans of his exploits have come to expect: danger, intrigue, wit, humor
and surprise. "The game is afoot, Watson—and it is a dangerous one!"
