Sherlock Holmes: The Last ActType of material: Softcover Booklet Author: David Stuart Davies Publisher: Calabash Press (P.O. Box 1360, Ashcroft, B.C., V0K 1A0, Canada Year: 1999 Pages: 68 Price: £9.50 or Cdn$20.00 or US$15.00 (plus postage). Review: David Stuart Davies's play Sherlock Holmes: The Last Act is a script that reads well, weaving Conan Doyle and Davies seamlessly together, and giving the reader a glimpse of Holmes the flawed but triumphant human being. It's a more successful play than either Martyn Read's 221B or Jeremy Paul's The Secret of Sherlock Holmes, excellent though those two are. Reviewed by: Roger Johnson, [District Messenger 191, 1999]
