Silent Sherlock: Three Classic Cases

TBC75 min

The iconic screen Holmes of the silent era, Eille Norwood still holds the record for having appeared in more Sherlock Holmes films than any other actor connected to the role on the big screen. Conan Doyle thoroughly approved of the first series to comprehensively, and closely, adapt his famous stories, and he particularly admired Norwood’s meticulous characterisation, observing ‘His wonderful impersonation of Holmes has amazed me.’

SHERLOCK: THREE CLASSIC CASES features one episode from each of the three series: A Scandal in Bohemia, in which Holmes uncharacteristically falls for a woman; The Golden Pince-Nez, a classic example of Holmesian detection; and The Final Problem in which Holmes meets his nemesis, the sinister Professor Moriarty.

In a new collaboration with the Royal Academy of Music and silent film music expert Neil Brand, SILENT SHERLOCK: THREE CLASSIC CASES features a specially commissioned recorded score by a trio of composers Joanna MacGregor CBE, Joseph Havlat and Neil Brand, with MacGregor conducting the Royal Academy of Music Soloists Ensemble. Each composer brings their unique interpretation and Sherlockian atmosphere to each classic case.
