The game's afoot at The Barnstormers in Tamworth as New Hampshire's oldest professional summer theatre kicks off the 2004 season with Sherlock Holmes, by Arthur Conan Doyle and William Gillette.
The Sherlock Holmes canon has been adapted many times since the world's only consulting detective first appeared in the Strand magazine in the late 1800's, mostly for screen and television. There is hardly a soul who has not seen Holmes and Watson in foggy lanes and murky moors. But this is the only dramatic piece from Holmes' creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the part of Holmes was the signature part of actor William Gillette. As one would expect, there are twists and turns and intrigues throughout that will leave the audience guessing until the end.
The Barnstormers' production will feature Dale Place as Holmes and Bob Bates as Dr. Watson, friend, confidant and advisor. John Sarouff will appear as Holmes' archenemy, Professor Moriarity. It is a large cast, directed by Barnstormers' Artistic Director, Richard Poole.
Tickets may be ordered now by calling the box office in Tamworth at 603-323-8500. Orchestra seats are $25; $20 in the balcony. Sherlock Holmes opens Tuesday, July 6th and runs through Saturday, July 10th. Curtain each night will be 8PM. The Barnstormers is fully air conditioned and handicapped accessible, and therešs lots of parking in Tamworth Village.Tuesday, July 13 through Saturday July 17, The Barnstormers will present The Gin Game by D.L.
