“Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Fallen Soufflé” is the sequel to David MacGregor’s hit play, “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Elusive Ear,”,presented at the Toledo Rep in October 2019. Directed by Nancy Wright, this production returns performers from the previous show, along with a few new faces.

It’s the day before Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and her son, the playboy Prince of Wales, arrives at 221B Baker Street pursued by anarchist assassins. Coincidentally, the greatest chef in the world, Auguste Escoffier, also arrives at 221B, his career about to be shattered by blackmail and scandal. Can Holmes, Watson, and Irene Adler save the life of the heir to the British crown and the reputation of the master chef? And can they unmask the criminal genius behind both of these sinister conspiracies? This action-filled tale of royal debauchery, priceless gems, and gourmet food will provide Dr. Watson, played by Lane Hakel of Bowling Green, with the material for Sherlock Holmes’ most bizarre and tastiest case. Contains adult content.
