What is Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Days of Christmas about?

It's Christmas in Victorian London, and performers are suddenly dropping dead in the West End. Scotland Yard rules out foul play, but Sherlock Holmes uncovers a sinister connection between the murders and the famous holiday song, The Twelve Days of Christmas. With the body count rising and time running out, Sherlock must race to save French Hens, recover Gold Rings and rescue Mother Goose before the killer strikes again, accompanied by his trusty sidekick Dr Watson and brilliant rival Athena Faversham.

This festive whodunnit spoofs classic detective stories with an original story starring legendary detective Sherlock Holmes - with a Christmas twist. Directed by Philip Breen, this hilarious comedy premiered at Birmingham Rep last year with a production that featured songs by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, opening to rave reviews from critics. Praised as “gleefully theatrical” (the Guardian) and “a madcap romp” (WhatsOnStage), it combines the thrills of a murder mystery with the sparkle and charm of a Christmas story. Throw in some laugh-out-loud festive humour, farcical chaos, and loads of razor-sharp wit and this is a show that is sure to light up your Christmas.

Perfect for the whole family, make sure you don't miss this mischievous, charming festive mystery this holiday season.
