The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Director Millie Hardy-Sims

Est. 2011, Happy Thoughts Drama Company has been providing opportunities for young actors to perform on a real stage for 15 years, and our Summer show this year is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Step into the fog-filled streets of Victorian London, where danger hides behind respectability and secrets are written in code. When the brilliant but restless Sherlock Holmes finds himself bored by ordinary cases, a series of strange events draws him into something far more intricate. As Holmes and Dr John Watson unravel ciphers, conspiracies, and carefully laid traps, the stakes grow increasingly personal. Old loyalties are tested, new love blossoms, and shadows gather at the edges of every victory. From comic deception to chilling obsession, each case reveals another layer of a criminal world that thrives on secrecy and fear.

But even as Holmes outwits thieves and confronts those who seek control through terror, a greater intelligence seems to hover just beyond reach—watching, calculating… waiting.

Blending suspense, wit, and theatrical flair, this thrilling adaptation brings Conan Doyle’s iconic detective vividly to life. The game is afoot… and every clue leads deeper into the dark.

“Come at once if convenient… if inconvenient, come all the same!” ~ Sherlock Holmes
