HEY FRIENDS, I am EXTREMELY EXCITED to have come into possession of a copy of the play script for The Secret of Sherlock Holmes and so NATURALLY the first thing I had to do was transcribe it to share! Itβs agonizingly difficult to find, which is a massive shame because itβs REALLY excellent, especially if youβre already a fan of Granada Holmes.
In case youβre unfamiliar, this play was commissioned by Jeremy Brett to Jeremy Paul, who wrote several episodes of the Granada series. The stage play starred Brett and Edward Hardwicke and ran from August 1988 to December 1989. Itβs basically a series of vignettes chronicling the friendship of Holmes and Watson, with a bit of a dark twist, the titular Secret.
Audio from one of the productions was kindly uploaded by Alison Carter on Soundcloud which you can listen to here and follow along in the script if you want:
Act 1Β |Β Act 2
On that note, the formatting of this took A WHILE, apart from the challenge of actually getting my hands on it at all, so if you find this helpful or entertaining or otherwise generally Good:Β
β¨Β Β Please consider buying me a coffee (or a cheeseburger, as itβs equally likely to be) by leaving few bucks in my ko-fi :)Β Β β¨
THANK YOU and I hope you love this as much as I did π
