This is the third play in the WATSON Series!

An act of sabotage at a secret British military base prompts Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson to investigate the mysterious “Voice of Terror” behind it. What follows is a game of cat and mouse of epic proportions as the sleuths look to thwart the villain amongst the backdrop of World War I: from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea to the skies above France and the desert sands of Arabia. Favorite characters return in this final installment, along with new characters ripped from history and literature. The inventive spirit, dynamic staging, and off-beat humor that the first two Watson plays are known for are alive and well in this immensely satisfying conclusion to the trilogy that also stands completely on its own.
