The world’s most famous investigator clashes with the world’s most preposterous narrator... a play that hilariously exploits and subverts theatrical conventions and classic detective stories. Audiences decide which clues the detective and his associate follow in a fantastic investigation that features entertaining combat, dastardly schemes inspired by Victorian-era science fiction, an increasingly vexed protagonist, and cultural references as diverse as Shakespeare and Arthur Conan Doyle, video games and kung fu movies. Twenty-four possible paths through the show will have audiences returning each night.
The playwright is open to subverting the gender roles.
