It’s Christmas in Victorian London. In the glittering West End – where dreams come true and nothing bad ever happens – performers are suddenly dropping dead mid-scene.
Scotland Yard rules out foul play. But when the world's greatest consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, uncovers a chilling connection to The Twelve Days of Christmas, he knows something sinister is afoot.
With the body count rising and time running out, Sherlock must race to save French Hens, recover Gold Rings and rescue Mother Goose before the killer strikes again. But as he hurtles towards a deadly showdown, will this be the case that finally brings down the great detective? Or can his trusty sidekick Dr Watson and brilliant rival Athena Faversham keep him alive long enough for another serving of Christmas pudding?
Set in the magnificent Alexandra Palace Theatre, one of London’s most atmospheric Victorian theatres, audiences can immerse themselves in this festive murder mystery that serves up mayhem, mischief and a generous helping of Christmas cheer.
Book now for the Christmas caper where nothing is quite as it seems.
