Sherlock Book Reviews - Don't Go Into The Cellar Mr Holmes

Sherlock Holmes Society of London Covid-19 and lockdown have prevented “Don’t Go Into the Cellar!” from touring with the well-regarded Holmesian and other productions that are their speciality, but as the company’s actor and writer Jonathan Goodwin says, the pandemic did open the door to the online performance and a new fan base, not least for his recent interpretation of Jeremy Brett as Holmes.
