Sherlock Holmes (1899)

Sherlock Holmes is an American play in 4 acts written by William Gillette performed for the first time on 12 june 1899 in London (UK), on 23 october 1899 in Buffalo and on 6 november 1899 in New York (USA).

Though the play was written at first by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1897, William Gillette re-wrote it so much that the story is very different than the original one.
