Holmes Poirot

"two tickets for the theatre" [BRUC]

Jeffrey Hatcher, BSI ("The Five Orange Pips") and Steve Hendrickson have teamed up for a new Sherlock Holmes play in which we find one mystery, separated by 25 years. Holmes has the first crack at it, followed by Hercule Poirot decades later.

Appropriately enough, it is called Holmes Poirot. And it premieres in St. Paul, Minnesota in October 2024.

Hatcher is known to Sherlockians for his screenplay for Mr. Holmes as well as two other Sherlockian plays. Hendrickson has played Sherlock Holmes on stage numerous times before with Bob Davis as his Watson. The two of them swap roles in the second act of this play, with Hendrickson assuming the role of Captain Hastings and Davis as Poirot.

We talk with Jeff and Steve about their experience creating this innovative new play, about their early starts with Sherlock Holmes, and much more.

We have the latest podcast entries in Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and another Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a surprise item from the IHOSE Vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by September 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. All listeners are eligible to play.
