	''The Mask of Moriarty'' is an American play, written by [[Hugh Leonard]] and directed by [[John Tillinger]], performed at the ''Adams Memorial Theatre'' (Williamstown, MA, USA) from 6 to 17 july 1994, starring [[Paxton Whitehead]] as [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[David Schramm]] as [[Dr. Watson]].		''The Mask of Moriarty'' is an American play, written by [[Hugh Leonard]] and directed by [[John Tillinger]], performed at the ''Adams Memorial Theatre'' (Williamstown, MA, USA) from 6 to 17 july 1994, starring [[Paxton Whitehead]] as [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[David Schramm]] as [[Dr. Watson]].

			A servant girl is murdered on Waterloo Bridge, and the blundering Constable Herbert Travesty promptly arrests the wrong man, Bunny St. John Manders. Bunny's newly found American half-sister, the flirtatious and ambiguous Gwen Mellors, protests and brings the case to [[Sherlock Holmes]]. In Holmes's study — amid banter about Watson's marital woes — Holmes vows to find the killer. The investigation soon tangles with two larger threads: a hunt for a world-shifting "McGuffin Device" and the elusive Professor Moriarty, complicated by a disguise-driven identity twist. Though the plotting sprawls, the chief pleasures are the performances and Leonard's witty dialogue, epitomized by Travesty's quip about "mythical ornithology."
