THE Waterfront Theatre Company will be heading to the Regal Theatre, Minehead, with the weird and wonderful tale of ‘The Remarkably Strange Case of Doctor Watson and the Spitalfields Vampires’.
The show, written by local dramatist Fred Owen, tells the story of Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick, Doctor John H. Watson, and his encounters with strange and disturbing things happening in the creepy graveyard of the Christ Church, Spitalfields.
Holmes has long retired to deepest Sussex to keep bees, but Doctor Watson still lives at 221b Baker Street, though life there is a little dull.
He has given up sleuthing in favour of running a small bookshop in Great Russell Street (opposite the British Museum), and on Sundays he offers a free clinic to the poor and needy of London’s East End.
Performances are on Thursday to Saturday, May 1-3, at 7.30pm.
Tickets cost up to £8 from the Regal box office on 01643-706430 or go to the website www.regaltheatre.co.uk
