Reviewing "Sherlock Holmes and the Whitechapel Fiend

 



Exploring Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective in the present day, "Sherlock Holmes and the Whitechapel Fiend" by Toby Hulse and Ross Smith offers a reality-disrupting, comedic adventure set in 1888. With a humorous tone, the play delves into the manipulation of truth, dissecting theatrical devices and societal issues like misinformation. The production, skillfully directed by Adam Meggido, balances the complexities, offering both verve and fun, though occasional overcomplexity may confuse


.Meanwhile, "Sherlock Holmes and the Poison Wood," a rock musical co-produced by the Watermill and Metta Theatre, directed by P Burton-Morgan, unfolds in the contemporary era. Holmes, portrayed as a celebrated detective and guitar-playing youth, faces personal challenges amplified by social media. The narrative, focusing on battling Jan Moriarty, intersects with issues of online trolling and praise. Despite interesting concepts, the play struggles with fractured dynamics, and the rocking music, though catchy, contributes to a bumpy ride on press night.
