About the Play: Sherlock Holmes and the Case of The American Twins is a traditional Sherlockian adventure that begins, as one always seems to, at 221B Baker Street where a distressed female client (Miss Phoebe Dillingham) consults with Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson on the whereabouts of her twin brother. What follows is a trail that leads to Mycroft Holmes (Sherlock's more intelligent brother) and on to Colonel Collins (retired intelligence officer from the Army) who sends Sherlock to Madam Flora Yao (a provocative connoisseur of information). The denouement of the case turns ruckus in Mrs. Hudson's sitting room and yet there is more …
About the venue: Baker Street West is a Victorian tribute to Sherlock Holmes. The setting includes eight storefronts relating to characters or subjects drawn directly from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's four novels and 56 short stories of Sherlock Holmes. It is an event-oriented venue that includes eight retail storefronts and a recreation of Sherlock Holmes' flat at 221B Baker Street.
About the cast: Baker Street Players is a theatre company inspired by the Baker Street West venue. It begins its life with The Case of the American Twins and will continue to produce Sherlockian and other Victorian plays.
About the author: While she is best known for her historical horror novels featuring the vampire Saint-Germain, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is no stranger to the Holmes universe. In addition to the above works, she and Bill Fawcett co-wrote four novels featuring Mycroft Holmes: Against the Brotherhood, Embassy Row, The Flying Scotsman and The Scottish Ploy. These four novels were authorized by Dame Jean Conan Doyle.
Yarbro's "novella-ized" version of The Case of the American Twins is available in all digital formats.
