Sherlock Holmes: A Study In Lipstick, Ketchup And Blood

Pitlochry Festival Theatre, until July 7

A new adaptation of A Study In Scarlet, the Holmes origin story that marked the first appearance of the detective and Dr Watson, has been written by River City actor and playwright Lesley Hart and is staged in the amphitheatre.

In a blasted world, two survivors – a doctor and an actor – pass the time by staging their favourite story salvaged from the flames, A Study In Scarlet. But when tensions arise around casting, more than dead bodies begin to surface.
