The show continues to be very well received and I particularly enjoy the variety of reviews. Yes, its good to get smashing reviews from all corners, but provocative when we elevate the conversation. I think you do that and am grateful S2 Hi Hope:

I will definitely make time to read that one, at least, and (laughing) to re-watch "The Great Mouse Detective!" I hope you do get a chance to see the IRT's show. I firmly believe that everyone should see every show, anyway, and form their own opinions. Reviews are just reviews, just part of the on-going conversation, not the final word. My friend, Mary, and I were talking this weekend about how going to a variety of shows, even some "bad" ones, helps to develops one's taste and one's capacity for discernment. Anyway, as always, Austin, thanks for reading! The Enrichment Guide says that “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” was Doyle’s all-time favorite of his stories, too.

You've never read a Sherlock Holmes story? Grab one of the short story collections, especially if it has the Red-Headed League and The Case of the Speckled Band. Also The Hound of the Baskervilles is always good. (Also it isn't Doyle, but we both know The Great Mouse Detective is simply genius.) The responses to this show is so interesting that I really need to find time to check this out. As always, great review! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You’ve never read a Sherlock Holmes story?
