November 8–December 21
Reunite with beloved characters from Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, now brought together in a story of mystery, suspense, and a healthy dose of holiday spirit!
Marley Moriarty was dead: to begin with. It’s been three Christmases since the Reichenbach Falls incident, and Sherlock Holmes has little appetite for mince pies or for solving crime. He’s all adrift since his nemesis, the formidable criminal mastermind Moriarty, died. Wandering through Victorian London, he meets a fully grown and not-so-Tiny Tim Cratchit who implores him to investigate the mysterious death of his reformed benefactor, one Ebenezer Scrooge.
Mightily intrigued, the game’s afoot! But it is a dark and treacherous Christmas Eve, and once again the holiday is haunted by the spirits of the past, present, and future. Using his powers of deduction, can Holmes overcome his own ghosts to crack the case?
This mysterious and merry mash-up is perfect, festive fun for the whole family!
Perfect for fans of: Holmes & Watson (2019), The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge (2017), The 39 Steps (2012), and A Christmas Carol (2021).
Featuring Commonweal ensemble members: Hal Cropp, John B. Nicol, Laurie Roberts, Alex Schlesinger, and Jeremy van Meter
