ShakeCo Radio Theater performs two stories from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," "A Scandal in Bohemia" and "The Red-headed League.” About the stories: Following the success of the first two Sherlock Holmes novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four, Conan Doyle began a long series of short stories featuring his brilliant detective. These stories were originally published in “The Strand Magazine” and Conan Doyle would write fifty-six by the time he finally retired. “A Scandal in Bohemia”, the first Holmes short story, details the fallout of a liason between the King of Bohemia and an American opera singer, Irene Adler. What seems to be a simple matter of recovering a damning photograph proves to be more challenging than Holmes expects. “The Red-headed League” is one of the most-adapted of all the Holmes stories. It details the mysterious “Red-headed League”, an enigmatic group whose sole reason for existance seems to be copying the Encyclopedia Brittanica word-for-word. When the league disbands unexpectedly, Holmes is brought in to explain it all. About the production: Hearkening back to the days before television, ShakeCo Radio Theater endeavors to recreate the mood and styles that once dominated the airwaves. Shows range from dramatic readings to more elaborate audio dramas. “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” will be presented as fully-cast audio dramas. Anyone who enjoys old-time radio, audio dramas or audiobooks is encouraged to attend.
