We're all tickled pink at Wayside Theatre today as great reviews are starting to come in for Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure. Both The Northern Virginia Daily and The Culpeper Star-Exponent loved the show.
The headline in the Northern Virginia Daily says it all by proclaiming
Sherlock Holmes, Sure To Please.
And the Culpeper Star Exponent raved about the "stellar cast", especially John Alcott who stalks the stage as Holmes. Here's an excerpt:
The first of many happy surprises is the return of John Alcott playing Sherlock Holmes. Mr. Alcott nails an interpretation that, through sheer force of personality, permits all of his oddities to make sense. His preternatural gift for observation is a given, of course. His cocaine habit, his fussiness about food, his utter inability to relate to women on any level beyond the rational — even with the woman he has fallen for — are just facets that fall naturally into place. And what’s not to love about a man who tries to court a woman with a book on the history of limestone?
Both reviewers also raved about the excellent work from our design team, each of whom did incredible work on this production. Give the reviews a read and come on down for some fun with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
