One of Britain’s best-loved detectives is live on-stage in a new case at Crewe Lyceum next week.
Sherlock Holmes and the Ripper Murders, will play at the venue from Monday August 3 to Wednesday August 5.
It stars Andrew Paul, known from The Bill, Where the Heart Is, and Coronation Street, Neil Roberts (Holby City), Kim Taylforth (London’s Burning, Bad Girls), George Telfer (Emmerdale) and Samuel Clemens as Sherlock Holmes.
This new production is by talking Scarlet and brings the famous detective duo to life in a new case.
In Victorian Whitechapel, the serial killings of prostitutes and vulnerable women are the talk of the town.
Dubbed the work of ‘Jack the Ripper’ by the popular press, yet another shriek is heard from deep within the smog-ridden slums. Sherlock Holmes and Dr John H Watson are drawn into one of the darkest plots yet.
“Audiences cannot get enough of Sherlock Holmes, on the stage and the screen,” said Lyceum marketing manager Gemma Whalley.
“The Lyceum brings another opportunity to experience the wit and willpower of the famous detective in the intimate setting of Crewe’s dramatic auditorium. It’s a must-see.”
Andrew Paul is best known for playing PC Dave Quinnan in The Bill for 15 years, and Billy Boothe in Where the Heart Is from 2003-2006.
Neil Roberts has appeared in leading roles in numerous plays, musicals, television programmes and films in Britain and in America, while Kim Taylforth is best known for her roles in London’s Burning and Bad Girls.
The lyceum shows start at 7.30pm each evening August 3-5, with a Wednesday matinee at 2.30pm.
Tickets are available from £18.
