“When you have one of the first brains of Europe up against you, and all the powers of darkness at his back, there are infinite possibilities."
London, 1901. As the British Empire wages war in the name of a Queen whose health is failing, a series of mysterious events reveals a crack in the high corridors of power. A crack that threatens to destabilise monarchy, government and Empire. And at its centre, controlling the flow of information and influence, a shadowy figure plans a final deadly move.
Drawn into the game and unsure who to trust, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves confronting figures from their past in a desperate race against time, aware that the most powerful person in the world could be in the pocket of one of the most corrupt. But just how much is Holmes willing to sacrifice as he faces ‘checkmate’?

The Stage
Nick Lane just might prove that we aren’t even scratching the surface of what is possible with Doyle’s famous sleuth. If you have enjoyed Holmes in the past, then you will surely enjoy this production, and if it is your first time I can assure you that there are few better places to start
