<br />
''Sherlock Holmes, A Suspense Comedy'' is an American play performed by the ''Pottsgrove High School Company'' in the school's ''Dr. Richard J. Radel Auditorium'' (Pottsgrove, PA, USA) on 21 and 22 march 2014 (3 performances), starring [[Jake Deska]] as [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[M. J. Bird]] as [[Dr. Watson]].<br />
<br />
The play combines elements from [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s short stories : [[A Scandal in Bohemia]] (1891), [[The Hound of the Baskervilles]] (1901) and the 1899 William Gillette's play [[Sherlock Holmes (play 1899)|Sherlock Holmes]].<br />
<br />
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are attempting to recover incriminating letters for an insurance company. What starts out as a simple case of blackmail evolves into a much more complicated scheme that pits Holmes against his arch nemesis, Professor Moriarty. Alice Faulkner, who has the letters, is kidnapped by the evil James and Madge Larrabee until Holmes rescues her. A budding romance between Alice and Sherlock is threatened by the expected armed thugs, time bombs, and other complications. The play combines both mystery and humor to reach a satisfying resolution.<br />
