Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Carbuncle

“Sherlock Holmes altered the course of my whole life…(and) the Blue Carbuncle is one of the best Christmas stories ever told!”

Stephen Fry

Mince pies, mulled wine and the sweet sound of Christmas Carols from festive choristers would warm the hearts of most, but alas! not necessarily the World’s Greatest Detective! Sherlock Holmes finds himself home alone at Christmas for he has not been asked to investigate the theft of the Countess of Morcar’s priceless gem – the Blue Carbuncle! But after a chance encounter with a particularly plump Christmas goose, it appears the game – or rather, the goose – is afoot!

Sandyford Little Theatre and Glencullen-Dundrum Musical and Dramatic Society are proud to present “Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Carbuncle” – an energetic, fun-filled and festive detective adventure that combines Christmas carols, detective intrigue and lots and lots of laughter.

In the intimate setting of Marlay House, the audience will be greeted with Christmas carols, Mrs. Hudson’s mulled wine and mince pies, and a mystery to solve! And while the Yuletide revelry may unsettle Sherlock Holmes, we’re sure it will fill your heart with Christmas magic!
