A radio-style performance based on two stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: "The Final Problem" and "The Adventure of the Empty House". Adapted and Directed by Mark Edward Lang

Enter the exciting world of fiction’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, in what appeared (at the time) to be his final case, as told by his trusty companion Dr. Watson.  Locked in a fierce battle with his arch-enemy, Professor Moriarty, they come face to face at Reichenbach Falls, and then…
 This brand-new adaptation of two of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic stories, “The Final Problem” and “The Adventure of the Empty House” (which follow each other in the Holmes timeline) is presented radio-style on East Lynne’s stage, at the historic Cape May Presbyterian Church.
Many of you will know the various adaptations of these characters-- famously starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce on film, and more recently Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman on television.  But the Sherlock Holmes adventures were on the radio in the United States between 1930 and 1950.   We continue in the tradition of those classic radio broadcasts.
