The Show:
Sherlock Holmes: manic-depressive, obsessive-compulsive, expert at playing the violin, boxing, single-stick fighting, martial arts, chemistry and disguise – possibly the first three-dimensional character in literature, probably the world’s most famous literary creation. And yet it was all an accident. Arthur Conan Doyle wasn’t even a writer when he invented Holmes; he was a doctor with no patients trying desperately to pay his bills. So how did he manage to create a character that has survived and thrived for nearly a century and a half? Come and meet Andy who will teach you all of the tricks of the trade.
