the GAME’S AFOOT!

The game’s afoot in Noveltease Theatre’s literary burlesque adaptation of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, originally staged at Sankofa Theater in October 2022.

One of the most indelible characters in the literary canon, Holmes and his methods have fascinated readers for well over a century, spawning numerous adaptations and allowing multiple actors to create their own iconic takes on the characters. Noveltease’s upcoming production plays with this legacy of adaptation by featuring three different takes on Holmes, with a different actor in the title role of each! Additionally, each story is adapted, choreographed, and directed by different members of the Noveltease Theatre company.

The show features Noveltease Core Company members Onyx Asili, Fosse Jack, Al Lykya, Sailor St. Claire, and Trixie Paprika, along with Associate Artists Lulu La Lune, Scarlett Folds, Miss Elaine Yes and special guest Willy Nilly.
