Synopsis
This play about the famous detective has Holmes venturing into the occult where, during a seance, he is warned that he is about to meet his maker.
The play has Holmes, Waston and Prof. Moriarty meet their maker, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who wishes to end their existence literally with the final stroke of his pen.
Holmes cannot accept the fact that he is the product of another's imagination, a mere pawn of another man's genius.
Who is the creator and who the pawn becomes the central question as Holmes and the others threaten their creator with the death to which he has sentenced them.
