by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Adapted for the stage by Nick Lane

“It is the Valley of Fear, the Valley of Death. The terror is in the hearts of the people from the dusk to the dawn”

Crammed full of adventure, mystery and of course one or two rather brilliant deductions, The Valley of Fear is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s thrilling final Sherlock Holmes novel brought to life in this spectacular new stage adaptation.

A mysterious, coded message is received, a warning of imminent danger, drawing Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Dr Watson into a tale of intrigue and murder stretching from 221B Baker Street to an ancient moated manor house to the bleak Pennsylvanian Vermissa Valley. Faced with a trail of bewildering clues, Holmes begins to unearth a darker, wider web of corruption, a secret society and the sinister work of one Professor Moriarty.

Don’t miss Blackeyed Theatre’s stunning world premiere of Sherlock Holmes: The Valley of Fear. Original music, stylish theatricality and magical storytelling combine for an unforgettable theatrical experience. The game’s afoot!
