Journey into the bustling streets of 1870s London to uncover the story behind one of the world’s greatest fictional detectives. Young Arthur Conan Doyle, an aspiring doctor with a curious mind, is taken under the wing of the brilliant Dr. Joseph Bell, a man with sharp observations and keen intellect. When a thrilling new mystery emerges, Arthur and his lively circle of friends must unravel a web of intrigue, danger, and deception. An exciting adventure that blends suspense, history, and heart, imagining how the seeds of a legend could have been planted in the mind of a young storyteller.
The playwright of two past World Premieres, Overactive Letdown (2022) and Heebie Jeebies: Tales from the Midnight Campfire (2025), returns with her newest play, commissioned for our annual Heckscher Theatre for Families Series, as we prepare for its world premiere in Fall of 2026!
