In 1916, the famous-but-now-retired detective resurfaces to attend the funeral of his friend, Watson, returning to Baker Street to resolve ‘the last act’.

Nigel Miles-Thomas is Sherlock, every English enunciation defining Holmes’ precision and emotionless deduction – until he admits he misses things; misses people; he misses his friend Watson! These cracks in his armour are small, yet significant, and Miles-Thomas has the nuance to show them without radically changing the established character.

He’s also not afraid to remind us of the darker side of Sherlock – his drug habit. He takes the needle whilst relating another memory – just another day for him, even if it’s a shocking reminder for the audience.

Miles-Thomas also plays every other character in this one-man show – their accents and physicality distinct from that the great detective, and it makes for convincing conversation.
