The houdini incident

Run time: 65 minutes
synopsis
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle copes with a terrible family secret, his wife’s terminal illness (at least, she says it is), and the fact the public views him only as the author of those damned Sherlock Holmes stories. Fortunately, things look up with a real-life murder investigation, the discovery of new love, and a chance to have tea with the great Harry Houdini.
quotes & reviews
“Best Sequel”
—Time Out New York
“In the best of bad taste.”
—The New York Times
“So many broadly comic theatrical productions are compared with the madcap antics of the ‘legendary’ Monty Python troupe that you may scoff at another critic calling a show ‘Pythonesque.’ Nevertheless, this show is so silly, smart, and full-throttled that Cleese and Palin and company might nod in agreement at the link.”
—Back Stage
“It has many, many laughs to recommend it.”

“Everyone involved oozes with talent.”
