SHERLOCK HOLMES SMELLS EVIL!
by Pat Whymark
DARK DEEDS AT THE QUEASY PINES SANITORIUM.
HOLMES & WATSON RISK MORE THAN THEIR HEALTH TO INVESTIGATE!
Holmes has booked Watson a two week stay at a health spa, high in the
Sproughton Mountains, near Ipswich. Though Watson insists he doesn’t
require steam baths and carrot soup, Holmes persuades him to “take the
cure” and return to his duties well rested and
refreshed. But something is amiss at Queasy Pines Sanatorium. Having no
contact with the outside world except phone, post, telegram and carrier
pigeon, Watson must wait for Holmes’ visit to tell him of the
mysterious disappearances at Queasy Pines and its
strange one legged Superintendent, Professor Eintrouser.
Created by the team well known for their many Christmas shows both for
Common Ground & Eastern Angles, don’t miss this classic comedy
mystery peppered with Common Ground’s trademark sparkling wit, ingenious
staging and hilarious songs.
Support The Corn Hall
As a charity we rely on donations to help cover the cost of delivering
our programme of exhibitions, events, our community activities such as
our Dementia Café, Arts Award, Saturday Club, Tots Tuesdays, Start With
Art, as well as supporting our core costs.
We ask you to support The Corn Hall with a donation, so that we can
continue to be a creative community hub for Diss. Whatever the donation,
anything from £1 to £10,000, is support that The Corn Hall didn't have
until you very kindly gave it to us. We offer
you a very warm thank you.
