“quick insight into character” [BERY]
As Americans, it is always a joy to meet an Englishman, and doubly so if he portrays Sherlock Holmes. Luke Barton has done that not only on stage but in audiobooks as well.
Our conversation with Luke explores how he has prepared for his many appearances as Holmes on stage — including one production in which he alternated the roles of Holmes and Watson. His insights into the deeper aspects of the detective are admirable, and his skill is evident.
We have Sherlockian news, Madeline Quinones' segment "A Chance of Listening," and a special comedy feature feature written by our own Erik Deckers. Oh, and of course the Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a piece of Sherlockiana from our vaults, Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by July 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.
