The Mystery Genius
Of Sherlock Holmes III
Begins March 14th
The most famous detective in literature will return to The Comedy Playhouse in The Mystery Genius of Sherlock Holmes III March 14th through March 22nd
Willian Gillette. Gillette was the first to portray Sherlock Holmes on stage. In fact, Gillette conributed many things to the way we view Sherlock Holmes. It was Gillette who first wore the deerslayer hat. He also introduced the famous bent briar pipe. His reason for employing a benr briar pipe instead of a straight pipe was because he claimed he could ennunciate more clearly with a bent pipe. Another reason may have been that a straight pipe might have concealed too much of his face. Gillette also made heavy use of the magnifing glass, the violin and a syringe. All of which contribute to the Holmes lore.
The Mystery Genius of Sherlock Holmes III consists of an ALL NEW selection of 4 of the original 56 stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Included in this year's presentation is The Five Orange Pips, The Man With The Twisted Lip and The Adventure of The Beryle Coronet.
