The successful GAIETY ON TOUR programme continues for Autumn 2024 with Pyramus and Thisbe Productions in association with Ayr Gaiety Theatre – HOLMES AND WATSON: THE FAREWELL TOUR. Appearing at a village hall or community centre near you, the tour will visit OCHILTREE, BARR, SORN, DAILLY, MAYBOLE, and MOSSBLOWN during September 2024.
Holmes and Watson are brought to life by Julian Finnigan and Dominic Goodwin as they re-enact one of the detective’s most baffling unrecorded cases – The Case of the Prime Minister, the Floozie, and the Lummock Rock Lighthouse! Written by Stuart Fortey and directed by David Robertson, this fast-paced entertainment promises to provide many a titter.
It’s an affair upon whose outcome the security of Europe once hung by a thread and shrouded in secrecy. Until now. The case has finally been approved by the government for public disclosure. It is understood that Mr. Holmes has been entrusted by Her Majesty with the conveyance to the Tower of London of the fabled Satsuma Stone, stolen from the crown of William of Orange in the seventeenth century, and only recently discovered in Europe. One can only be thankful that Professor James Moriarty, the Napoleon of crime, fell to his death at the Reichenbach Falls. Or is he still alive, planning another deadly strike as he lurks, unseen, in the wings…?
This is your final chance to catch Holmes and Watson as they embark on their farewell tour. Don’t miss them. It’s elementary!!
The Gaiety on Tour is supported by Creative Scotland and ARIA Ayrshire Rural Islands & Ambition Fund.
