Description: Beginning on April 11, the world's greatest detective is back for one final, thrilling adventure at the Lawrence Community Theatre. When the King of Bohemia is blackmailed on the eve of his wedding, there can be no doubt who is behind it - the sinister Professor Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. It's up to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to recover a scandalous photograph of the King and singer, Irene Adler before Moriarty can use it to alter the course of European History. But there's a catch: for the first and only time in his career, Holmes falls in love. Now he must find a way to win Irene's affection and solve the case while finally bringing Moriarty to justice in one last, great adventure.
