A Blackeyed Theatre production

---

Adapted by Nick Lane from the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

“When you have one of the first brains of Europe up against you, and all the powers of darkness at his back, there are infinite possibilities”

London, 1901. As the British Empire wages war in the name of a Queen whose health is failing, a series of mysterious events reveals a crack in the high corridors of power. A crack that threatens to destabilise monarchy, government and Empire. And at its centre, controlling the flow of information and influence, a shadowy figure plans a final deadly move.

Drawn into the game and unsure who to trust, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves confronting figures from their past in a desperate race against time, aware that the most powerful person in the world could be in the pocket of one of the most corrupt. But just how much is Holmes willing to sacrifice as he faces 'checkmate'?

A thrilling adventure based on the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty is a world premiere combining powerful performances, a haunting soundscape and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience.

A few key performers who stood out to me…Eliot Giuralarocca, who plays many characters during the performance, shows his diverse range in this show. For our performance, he won the audience with some, made us hate him with others and even made us chuckle at times....this is a performance that would be loved by fans of theatre and literature alike.

Southern Arts Reviews

★★★★★

The crux of a great production rests on the cast’s skill. The whole ensemble delivered a play which packed a real punch. They were all filling big boots, following a range of acting legends who had played their roles including Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr, Una Stubbs, Andrew Scott and Mark Gatiss, to name but a few. They didn’t appear intimidated and were more than a match for their predecessors.

Pippa Caddick and her fellow cast members, Gavin Molloy, Robbie Capaldi and Eliot Giuralarocca played four or five characters each to excellent effect. They move on and off stage, changing personalities in the blink of an eye – a masterclass in acting.
