This autumn, Blackeyed Theatre brings to the stage a new adaptation of The Sign of Four, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s second Sherlock Holmes novel. Adapted and directed by Nick Lane, with music composed by Tristan Parkes, this world premiere embarks on a six-month UK tour this September, with a stop at Worthing’s Connaught Theatre.
Director Nick Lane comments, “I don’t think I know anyone over the age of ten who doesn’t know at least the name Sherlock Holmes. He is part of the literary fabric of this country – hugely popular and hugely adaptable – and his cases with Watson are a blueprint for so many crime novels, films, TV shows and theatre. We have approached this adaptation in a stylised way which will appeal to avid fans of the novel as well as those who simply want to come to the theatre and enjoy a rattling good crime story!”
Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of Four will be at the Connaught theatre from the 20th to the 22nd of September 2018. For more information on tickets, please see the theatre website.
