SHERLOCK HOLMES: The Final Adventure

Opens Friday, January 24 at Schenectady Civic Players

SCHENECTADY -- Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventureby Steven Dietz, 
based on

the original 1899 play by William Gillette and Arthur Conan Doyle, opens 
Friday, January 24,
  and runs through Sunday, February 2, at Schenectady Civic Players' 12 
South Church Street
  playhouse in Schenectady's historic Stockade district.

The play, directed by Aaron Holbritter, is the third main-stage 
production of

Schenectady Civic Player's 86th season.

In the plot, the King of Bohemia is about to be blackmailed by a notorious

photograph, and the woman at the heart of this crime is the famous opera 
singer

Irene Adler. With Dr. Watson at his side, Mr. Holmes pursues first the 
case, and

then the affections of Miss Adler...and in doing so marches right into 
the lair of

his longtime adversary, Professor Moriarty.

In this spirited, fast-moving and thoroughly theatrical adaptation, Dietz

presents Holmes at the height of his powers -- surrounded by all the 
elements

that fans of his exploits have come to expect: intrigue, danger, wit, 
humor and

surprise.

/"Dietz creates interesting worlds in his adaptations, in this case 
conjuring /

/Victorian England and Holmes' flat at 221B Baker Street. In his script, 
Dietz /

/has crafted enough intrigue, adventure and even romance to create a fun 
evening /

/that moves quickly, and is sure to please everyone who joins in the 
game." /
