This brief, smart play illuminates the angst of a famous writer (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) who wishes to move past a creative block while receiving advice from his most acclaimed fictional creation (Sherlock Holmes). At the moment between seeking a bit of alcohol and ordering a drink, the play provides a thrifty, nifty examination of an artist in conflict with his art, while striving to create anew. The set-up is mystical but simple, the characters are wonderfully theatrical and the play moves swiftly toward a promising solution.
