A FANTASTIC TIME Sherlock Holmes: the final adventure Written by William Gillette and Arthur Conan Doyle Adapted for the stage by Stephen Dietz Directed by Richard H. Pegg Review by David Marlowe "...is incontrovertible proof of the excellence of theatrical productions being staged at Miners Alley. In point of fact it’s elementary, my dear reader. Richard Pegg’s superb direction transports us with seeming effortlessness to Victorian England. Verl Hite is brilliant as Sherlock Holmes, "the bloodhound of Baker Street.” We already know that he is going to save the girl ;but will he defeat the forces of evil? With newly shaved head, nasty leer and deep mellifluous voice, Rick Bernstein succeeds in making us believe he is the personification of evil in his portrayal of Holmes’ slimy nemesis, Professor Moriarty. Stepping into the illusory shadows of seedy Victorian London, Bernstein gives a stunning performance. Claude Diener provides a splendidly delivered portrayal of Doctor Watson. Boni McIntyre contributes a thrillingly realized portrayal of Irene Adler. Nathan Bock creates a thoroughly credible King of Bohemia. Add to this awesome characters drawn by Miners Alley favorites Christian Mast and Chris Bleau. Zounds! The sound design by Richard H. Pegg is masterful indeed. It lends atmosphere and mood in perfect alliance with Karalyn Pytel’s very fine lighting. Race to see it. And Godspeed!"
