It has been confirmed that Mark Shanahan’s A Sherlock Carol, combining the worlds of Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will return to the Marylebone Theatre for its third season, running from the 29th November until 5th January 2024.  

Three Christmases since the famous confrontation with his nemesis Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes has little appetite for mince pies or for solving crime. Wandering through Victorian London, he meets a grown-up and not-so-Tiny Tim who implores him to investigate the mysterious death of his reformed benefactor, one Ebenezer Scrooge.

An impossible murder, a threatening letter, and a missing diamond – it’s just enough to intrigue the great detective. But it’s a dark and treacherous Christmas Eve, and once again the night is haunted by the spirits of the past, present, and future. Using his powers of deduction, can Holmes overcome his own ghosts to crack the case?

Written and directed by Mark Shanahan, the show features scenic design by Tony nominee Anna Louizos, lighting design by Obie- winner Rui Rita, with original music and sound design by Tony nominee John Gromada.

Casting for the show’s new run has yet to be announced and it is produced by DEM Productions, Fat Goose Productions, and Theatre Nerd Productions.
