UK premiere of A SHERLOCK CAROL to be presented at Marylebone Theatre

A Sherlock Carol, written and directed by Mark Shanahan, will receive its UK premiere at Marylebone Theatre from 18 November 2022 - 17 January 2023.

Three Christmases since the famous confrontation with his nemesis Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes has little appetite for mince pies or for solving crime. Wandering through Victorian London, he meets a grown-up and not-so-Tiny Tim who implores him to investigate the mysterious death of his reformed benefactor, one Ebenezer Scrooge.

An impossible murder, a threatening letter, and a missing diamond - it’s just enough to intrigue the great detective. But it’s a dark and treacherous Christmas Eve, and once again the night is haunted by the spirits of the past, present, and future. Using his powers of deduction, can Holmes overcome his own ghosts to crack the case?

The worlds of Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle combine on stage in this ‘instant holiday classic’, coming to London for the first time, just a stone’s throw from Holmes’ fictional base at 221B Baker Street itself.

The cast includes Ben Caplan (Call The Midwife, BBC) as Sherlock Holmes, Kammy Darweish (Life of Pi, Sheffield Crucible) as Ebenezer Scrooge, Rosie Armstong (A Small Family Business, National Theatre) as The Countess and others, Richard James (Gangsta Granny, UK tour) as Dr Watson and others, Gemma Laurie (The Long Shadow, ITV) as Emma Wiggins and others, and Damian Lynch (The Comedy About A Bank Robbery, West End) as Dr Cratchit and others.

The production features set design by Anna Louizos, costumes by Linda Cho, lighting by Rui Rita, composition and sound design by John Gromada, and casting by Abby Galvin.
