Sherlock Holmes and the Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb

Review: This clever, affectionate and delightfully funny spoof was written and presented as Eastern Angles’ Christmas entertainment in 1994.

The play’s publication gives many more people the chance to enjoy it; I hope, too, that it will lead to more productions. Archaeology, murder, illicit romance, theft, a secret cult and a love-lorn mummy named Otis all play their part, along with neat detective work and a cartload of jokes. It’s an ideal Christmas present - go on, treat yourself!
