The reviews have started to roll in for The Arthur Conan Doyle
Appreciation Society, and the verdict is that this is one of the
most entertaining shows around this Christmas!
EdinburghGuide.com praised its
"jaw dropping tricks and illusion" (★★★★) and British Theatre Guide.called its
mixture of storytelling, slapstick and magic, "a winning comic
formula."
The Scotsman reckoned it was, "gently
entertaining...beautifully played" (★★★★) while The Arts Desk said it was,
"consistently inventive and wonderfully funny"
(★★★★).
The Stage loved its "comedy, pratfalls and deep
philosophical investigation" calling it "utterly
hilarious" and
Edinburgh Evening News said it was "masterful...a
story filled with contradictions and comedy, leaving you with more
than a little appreciation for Mr Conan Doyle" (★★★★).
Our opening audience thought so too! Check out this
video with reactions from our first night.
The Arthur
Conan Doyle Appreciation Society runs at the Travese until
Saturday 22 December.
