30 – 31 January

The wryly humorous solo-show, Sherlock Holmes: The Death and Life appears on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 January at the Ustinov Studio.

The performance is a light-hearted and intriguing investigation of the consequences when fictional characters take on lives and ambitions of their own, quite against the wishes of the author. 

The performance finds Arthur Conan Doyle tiring of ‘his’ intolerably arrogant Sherlock Holmes, and inventing the arch villain, Moriarty, to dispose of him. But Doyle’s dangerous strategy, combined with his passion for raising the spirits of the dead, has rather more surreal and dramatic consequences than he bargains for!

Sherlock Holmes: The Death and Life is performed by Nigel Miles-Thomas who has performed in productions worldwide including London’s West End and appeared in Steven Berkoff’s company. His TV credits include Dr Who, Grange Hill, The Professionals, Minder, The Dick Emery Show, The Story of English and Middlemarch.

Tickets for all performances at the Ustinov Studio are on sale now at Theatre Royal Bath Box Office on 01225 448844 and online at theatreroyal.org.uk
