1.  “The Game’s Afoot” – July 10-18

Peninsula Productions present the Canadian premiere of Ken Ludwig’s play.

Set in 1936 at Gillette Castle, Connecticut, a guest of the castle is murdered, and the world-renowned actor, William Gillette resumes his role as Sherlock Holmes to solve the crime.

The Playhouse is located at 1532 Johnston Road, White Rock.

2. “Reichenbach Falls” Excursion –  July 13

After our ceremonial wreath-toss and picnic, (please see the previous post) we make our way to “Toad Hall” with a slight detour to visit the grave-site of Margaret Denison, mother of Vincent Starrett.  We will show our respects by reciting her son’s poem, “221b” and remembering what a great influence she was on her son’s life. If anyone requires a ride, please let me know.

Thanks to Holmes and Watson, the Empire is safe and Queen Victoria’s secret will remain untold.

We had heard that Sherlock Holmes would have made a fine actor, if he would have chosen that profession. But who knew he could also sing? Watson was true to form. Always in the dark, clueless, but Holmes would be lost without him.

We were treated to the gaiety of the music hall as the play began, and the entertainment did not stop. Recommended to all those who enjoy a good mystery and a good time.

The play runs Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8pm to March 16th at the Deep Cove Shaw Theatre.
