SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE FINAL ADVENTURE
The world’s most masterful detective faces the biggest challenge
of his career as he investigates a mystery involving a kidnapped
damsel, a stack of scandalous letters and the menacing denizens
of London’s seamy underworld. To solve the case, Holmes must
match wits with his arch-nemesis, the evil Professor Moriarty,
and with a brilliant, beautiful opera diva who has captured
his heart. Intellect and passion collide in a web of deception,
where even the most insignificant clue can unlock the deepest
secrets of the mind and heart.
By Steven Dietz Based on the original 1899 play by William Gillette
and Arthur Conan Doyle Directed by Edward Stern Sponsored by
