Introduction to the cast of ‘A Sherlock Carol’

Coming to Marylebone Theatre this Christmas, the A Sherlock Carol Broadway production is sure to delight London audiences with its wit and mystery. Set several years after Dickens’ famous miser has learned the error of his ways, Ebenezer Scrooge suffers an unexpected and peculiar death. Tiny Tim, now grown up, visits Sherlock Holmes to solicit his help – but it’s a dark and sinister Christmas Eve, once again haunted by spirits of the past, present and future. Can Holmes overcome his own ghosts to solve the mystery?
