Watson: The Final Problem

Watson gets the last word in this one-man Sherlockian drama

Set in 1894, Watson is alone after the deaths of his wife Mary and Sherlock Holmes and decides to set the record straight. This one-man drama puts the familiar companion at the centre of a story threaded with long-buried secrets, betrayal and death.

Written by Bert Coules and Tim Marriott from stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the show is performed by Marriott and directed by Coules. There is no event-specific age rating, although the producer describes it as suitable for GCSE English students, so the darker themes make it a better fit for older children and adults.

Row A has step-free access and two wheelchair spaces when booked in advance, with a disabled toilet, lift and sound loop at the venue. Ask the box office about support dogs or other access arrangements before booking.

Ticketed. Book ahead through the organiser.
