If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes AND also a lover of spectacular scenery, quaint and/or bustling villages, outdoor pursuits, country museums, and historical homes and gardens, why not combine your interests and come visit the Lake District National Park? The Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere is presenting matinee and evening performances of a play entitled ‘Sherlock’s Last Case’ until 13th September 2015, which promises to be highly entertaining.
The Old Laundry Theatre presents a stunning production of Sherlock’s Last Case by Charles Marowitz
This production runs from Thursday 20 August to Sunday 13 September with evening and afternoon performances.
A death threat delivered to 221B Baker Street by the daughter of his arch enemy scarcely ruffles the feathers of the legendary Sherlock Holmes. A second threat still does little to shake the great detective’s nonchalance in the face of impending death. However, now, he’s intrigued……. Employing his great powers of deduction, Holmes embarks on a bizarre and mysterious case that eventually brings him face-to-face with his avenger. Is this the end of the most famous detective in the world? The answer is elementary, my dear Watson.
True to the spirit of Conan-Doyle’s original Sherlock novels, this black comedy has all the suspense and intrigue of a great detective story whilst poking gentle fun at the super sleuth’s eccentric personality. With humour and suspense in equal amounts, events lead to a stunning final twist which will surely catch you by surprise!
“…packed full of gems…wickedly funny… ”

If you are attending a performance at The Old Laundry Theatre, Blenheim Lodge, our guest house, is only a short 5-minute walk from the theatre. We are situated on a hilltop above Bowness-on-Windermere centre where The Old Laundry Theatre is located.
