Moriarty
is
dead,
to
begin
with
and
Sherlock
Holmes
is
a
haunted
man.
But,
when
a
grown-up
Tiny
Tim
asks
Holmes
to
investigate
the
death
of
one
Ebenezer
Scrooge,
the
Great Detective must use his gifts to solve a Dickens of a mystery!
Six
actors
take
on
the
beloved
characters
(note
plural)
of
Arthur
Conan
Doyle
and
Charles
Dickens in this adventure for all ages. Are you up for the challenge?
Character Breakdown:
• Sherlock Holmes
It
is
three
Christmases
since
Holmes’
infamous
confrontation
with
Moriarty
at
the
Reichenbach
Falls,
and
the
detective
has
become
a
miser
himself,
with
little
appetite
for
solving
crimes.
Then
he
runs
into
a
now
grown
up
Tiny
Tim,
who
persuades
him
to
investigate
the
mysterious
death
of
Ebenezer
Scrooge.
Holmes
must
face
his
own
ghosts
to solve the case.
• Ebenezer Scrooge
The
miserly
protagonist
of
Dickens’
novel,
Ebenezer
Scrooge
is
first
described
as
a
“squeezing,
wrenching,
grasping,
scraping,
clutching,
covetous
old
sinner”.
He
has
no
time
or
patience
for
Christmas,
until
one
fateful
year
when
the
ghosts
of
Christmas
past,
present
and
future
teach
him
the
error
of
his
ways.
In
this
play,
several
years
have
passed
since
that
night,
and
having
kept
Christmas
well
and
become
a
generous
benefactor
to
‘Tiny’
Tim
Cratchit,
he
has
passed
away
under
strange
circumstances.
His
spectre
reappears to guide Holmes on his journey to the truth.
• Timothy Cratchit and Others
The
ailing
‘Tiny
Tim’
from
Dickens’
story,
Timothy
Cratchit
is
now
a
respected
but
impoverished
doctor
at
the
struggling
St
Bernard’s
Hospital
for
Children.
He’s
concerned
about the nature of his friend Scrooge’s death, and entreats Holmes to take on the case.
• The Countess and Others
Sherlock’s old-flame, Irene Adler, who shows up years later as
The Countess of Morcar.
• Emma Wiggins and Others
Emma
Wiggins
comes
to
Sherlock
with
the
news
that
the
kindly
old
Scrooge
has
been
murdered
and
that
her
father,
Scrooge’s
attendant,
has
been
charged
with
stealing
the
Blue
Carbuncle.
Sherlock’s
old-flame,
Irene
Adler,
who
shows
up,
The
Countess
of
Morcar,
is
none
other
than
Irene
Adler,
who
appears
in
the
Holmes
story,
‘A
Scandal
in
Bohemia’.
Although
she
appears
in
just
one
story,
besting
Holmes
and
disappearing
with
her
new
husband
and
an
incriminating
photo
of
herself
and
the
King
of
Bohemia,
she
fascinates
the
detective
and
is
mentioned
in
other
stories.
In
‘A
Sherlock
Carol’
she
shows
up
again,
now a countess, and is portrayed as an old flame of Holmes’.
• Dr. Watson and Others
Sherlock
Holmes’
faithful
friend
and
the
narrator
of
the
Holmes
stories.
He’s
intelligent,
curious
and
patient,
putting
up
with
Holmes’
frequent
depressive
episodes
and
helping
him
back
on
his
feet.
In
the
play,
Watson
has
married
Mary
Morstan
and
is
somewhat
estranged
from
the
detective
since
the
Reichenbach
Falls
confrontation.
He
also
has
another identity, which is revealed at the end.
