I am very excited to announce two upcoming Sherlockian conferences. One in Canada and one in USA.
The first, “A Study in Scandal” takes place in Toronto from October 13th to 16th. It is “A symposium on the oftentimes controversial life of Arthur Conan Doyle and the culture of Victorian scandal”
On the program are a variety of distinguished speakers, promising to make this conference very informative and entertaining.
The second, “From Gillette to Brett III” will take place in Indiana on Nover 11th to 13th.
This conference is “devoted to Sherlock Holmes on stage, screen, television and radio.” It will include the 35th anniversary screening of The Seven Percent solution hosted by Nicholas Meyer, who wrote both the book and the screenplay.
Speakers at this event will include:
Nicholas Meyer, Curtis Armstrong, Bert Coules, Tony Earnshaw, David Stuart Davies, Leslie Klinger, Kathryn White and Henry Zecher, who will present his Gillette slide program.
Both events are well worth attending, if possible. Two of our own Stormy Petrels have already registerd for the Toronto event.
If you would like more information on either conference regarding registration, fees, etc, please contact me, the Stormy Petrel Consulting Detective, at our g-mail address.
