Literary weary folk who simply lack the time to pick up lengthy novels, but still hold some unexplainable curiosity with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famed eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes are in luck. No longer do these unscholarly people have to live ignorantly in bliss about the wondrous Holmes and his life of hunting killers, solving mysteries, reminiscing about former loves, ingesting cocaine and smoking his characteristic tobacco pipe. The play The Secret of Sherlock Holmes seeks to bring people into the world of the intelligent detective and familiarize onlookers with the various quirks that discreetly bespeak volumes about the troubled Holmes.
