by Matthew Ivan Bennett<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/b><\/p>\n

Staged Radio Drama, Radio Broadcast, Fully-Staged Production, or Virtual Theatre, THE FINAL PROBLEM is a very flexible piece.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

What if Dr. Watson was a woman and Sherlock Holmes wasn’t always right?<\/b><\/h3>\n

On the run from Moriarty, Holmes is unsure of his deductive powers and Watson is unsure of her friendship with him. This rendition of the last story in “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” casts Watson as a woman and re-envisions Holmes as carrying a torch for his best friend, even after her recent marriage. It’s partly a story of flight and self-doubt and partly a story about the endurance of friendship and platonic love. Moriarty presents a challenge that Holmes and Watson aren’t entirely sure they can meet. \u201cYou must stand clear, Mr. Holmes, or be smashed.\u201d\u2013 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s “The Final Problem\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>RADIO HOUR is a co-production between Salt Lake City\u2019s Plan-B Theatre Company and the University of Utah\u2019s Public Radio station KUER’s Radio West.<\/p>\n

The play can be done solely as a radio broadcast, or it can be done LIVE onstage with a radio show set up with actors on mics and SFX and MUSIC provided live, or both.<\/p>\n
