<br />
''The Man Who Murdered Sherlock Holmes'' is an American musical play written by [[John Reeger]] and directed by [[Warner Crocker]], performed by the [http://mercurytheaterchicago.com Mercury Theater Chicago] at the ''Mercury Theater Chicago'' from 20 january to 20 march 2016, starring [[Michael Aaron Lindner]] as [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] and [[Nick Sandys Pullin]] as [[Sherlock Holmes]].<br />
<br />
The musical begins with [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] writing "[[FINA|The Final Problem]]," in which his famous detective is killed off. When the public reads that Mr. Holmes has been done in, everyone from Churchill to Conan Doyle's own family is up-in-arms. Besieged by telephone calls and angry mobs outside his home, Conan Doyle flees London to escape the harassment. Surprisingly, he finds a much more challenging problem awaiting him when out of the evening mist steps Sherlock Holmes. And so begins a battle of wits between the author — who wants his character dead — and character — who demands to be revived to preserve his legacy. The writer and his creation are off together solving the real-life crime of "The Wyrley Ripper" (George Edalji case).<br />
