Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily : From stodgy to frothy in two acts
Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily by Katie Forgette Directed by Val Bogan. An OLT production
It is not surprising that some of the dialogue in Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily sounds familiar. Playwright Katie Forgette’s tongue-in-cheek look at Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective frequently borrows snippets from plays by William Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde as the mystery unfolds. These excerpts and such in-jokes as the working and final titles of Wilde’s most famous play provide some of the script’s most amusing moments.
