Bert Coules’s one-man play – on the stage at last!

“Superb, authentic … excellent production” (Broadway World)

Watson – The Final Problem
makes its world premiere at the Rialto Theatre in Brighton as part of this year’s Brighton Fringe Arts Festival. 

John Watson is alone. His beloved wife Mary and the great Sherlock Holmes are both gone. But London seethes with false reports and rumour. It is time to set the record straight.
So Watson tells his tale of long buried secrets, betrayal and death. There is a shadow in the gutters of London. A spider’s web of poisonous intrigue lies across the city. Someone is playing a long game and Holmes and Watson must face their greatest ever challenge. But as Watson unravels the story, is the game really over?

There are four shows: 12th & 13th June at 5pm, 16th & 17th at 8pm.  Booking is now open and there are full details and a video trailer at https://www.brightonfringe.org/whats-on/watson-the-final-problem-153426/?fbclid=IwAR02vokcBzn2xHQaNTfnW82VrTVMO1-W2l3T0QwBkL4n3rqNUiWtk7NMhSQ

Bert Coules (do you really need reminding?) created the BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of the complete Holmes canon, starring Clive Merrison & Michael Williams.
He went on to write four series of The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes for Clive Merrison & Andrew Sachs.
Watson – The Final Problem was written in collaboration with Tim Marriott, who plays Dr Watson.
