On Stage: Theatre Sherlock Holmes And The Case Of The Jersey Lily Centenary Stage Company - 715 Grand Avenue, Hackettstown Written by Katie Forgette, this play brings the wit of Oscar Wilde together with the cunning of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In this story rife with humor, Wilde brings his dear friend, Lillie Langtry, to Baker Street because someone has stolen the highly intimate letters Lillie exchanged with the future King of England. With blackmail looming and a NJ STAGE 2016 - ISSUE 9 viscous plot to dismantle the Crown, only Holmes has the cunning and dexterity to solve the case, while Watson falls headover-heels for the Jersey Lily, and a wicked professor attempts to bring the Crown to its knees. Directed by Carl Wallnau, the production runs October 7 through October 23 in the Sitnik Theater. INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 75
