Elementary, my dear soufflé
Two years ago, the Toledo Rep presented a popular production of David MacGregor’s hit play “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Elusive Ear.” Patient fans have waited and the Rep will finally have the chance to stage MacGregor’s sequel, “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Fallen Soufflé.” Centered around Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, this exciting and funny show both deconstructs and celebrates the legacy of the world’s most famous detective. The Rep’s production will run from October 29 through November 7. For more information, visit toledorep.org.
