Overview

Journey back to London and the door of 221B Baker Street, where the world’s most famous detective and his ever-loyal Dr. Watson are drawn into a grisly murder at Birlstone Manor. What begins as a routine puzzle unravels into a dark web of intrigue – and a reckoning with the one adversary Holmes has always feared ... the infamous Professor Moriarty.

Starring Eugene Gilfedder (A Beautiful Life, A Christmas Carol, How to Make Gravy) as Sherlock Holmes, Ian Stenlake (Sea Patrol, Stingers, The 39 Steps) as Dr. Watson and Bryan Probets (Furiosa, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, The Great Gatsby) as Professor Moriarty, witness one of the most legendary minds in all of literature brought boldly to life on stage in this fast-paced thriller. With spectacular staging and cinematic projections, Sherlock Holmes – The Mystery of the Valkyrie will keep you guessing right up to its final, breathless reveal.

The clues are all there. Whether you spot them is another matter entirely ...

The game is afoot!
