Whether or not you like this audio one-man play depends one the sort of Holmsian you are.
If you are a Holmes pedant, there will be little niggles, but if you are happy to let these go, then it's a good play - especially if you have a taste for the postmodern.
Robert LLewellyn plays all the parts brilliantly, including Holmes, Moriarty, Arthur Conan Doyle,the propriator of the Strand Magazine and even a clarevoyant lady. I honestly don't know why LLewellyn isn't more widely known. Perhaps I just don't move in the right circles.
There is also a 20 or so minute discussion at the end of the play between LLewellyn, David Stuart Davis and Nicholas Briggs the director and producer of this audio range. They talk about the production, Davis' two stage plays (The Last Act and The Death and Life) of which this is one adaptation. They also discuss the longevity and appeal of Sherlock Holmes.

I saw this play live in Scarborough and at the time was amazed at Roger Llewellyn's ability of change from caracter to caracter with little more than a change of voice and his stance, and it was so convincing! Even after a year this play stayed in my mind's interest. Framed around Dr Doyle's hated Sherlocks's popularity and his attempts to kill him off, yet the fictional caracter has out lived his author, survived the attempts to kill him and has gone on to have 'a life of his own'in the world's imagination. Once I found out it was on a CD I snapped it up. This is a great play on CD and gives great pleasure, see it live too if you can!
