Episode Details

The Pittsburgh Savoyards open their 89th season with the adventures of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s world-famous detective in Sherlock Holmes and the Web of Deceit, a new adaptation written and directed by Robert Hockenberry. Rob joined Anna Singer to chat about the show.

Rob talks about stripping the adaptation back to the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle texts, and modernizing Sherlock's language. He says the size of the performance space provides an intimate setting, allowing for high audience immersion. Rob also discusses working with the cast on dialects and highlights his favorite moments.

Sherlock Holmes and the Web of Deceit runs at the Margaret Partee Performing Arts Center from July 10th through July 25th. More information and tickets are available on the Pittsburgh Savoyards website.
