Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's own adaptation of his story The Adventure of the Speckled Band is a thrilling theatrical escapade in which Sherlock Holmes outwits the evil Dr. Rylott who is plotting to do away with his young ward. Considered by Doyle as one of his favorite short stories, his adaptation of the classic locked room mystery exhilarated Victorian audiences. This melodrama is as gripping today as it was when it was first produced. Long out of print, Theatre Arts Press is proud to present this new acting edition of the classic Sherlock Holmes play.
