However, that hasn’t stopped the Traverse from teaming up with masters of physical comedy, Peepolykus, to bring one of Edinburgh’s best loved figures, Arthur Conan Doyle, back to life for a seasonal celebration.
This riotous show brings leading advocate for spiritualism, Conan Doyle, face to face with his rationalist creation, Holmes, in a show fusing lecture, storytelling and slapstick comedy. Co-written by Steven Canny and John Nicholson, it continues the Traverse’s four-year old tradition of offering an alternative show at Christmas.
The Arthur Conan Doyle Appreciation Society, Traverse Theatre, Cambridge Street, Tuesday-22 December (not Sundays/Mondays), 7.30pm (matinees 2.30pm), £11-£17.50, 0131-228 1404
