Common Ground presents...

Dark Deeds at the Queasy Pines Sanatorium

Holmes & Watson risk more than their health to investigate!

Holmes has booked Watson a two-week stay at a health spa, high in the Sproughton Mountains near Ipswich. Though Watson insists he doesn’t require steam baths and carrot soup, Holmes persuades him to “take the cure” and return to his duties well-rested and refreshed.

But something is amiss at Queasy Pines Sanatorium. With no contact with the outside world except by phone, post, telegram, and carrier pigeon, Watson must wait for Holmes’ visit to tell him of the mysterious disappearances and the strange, one-legged Superintendent, Professor Eintrouser.

Created by the team well known for their many Christmas shows for Common Ground and Eastern Angles, this classic comedy mystery is peppered with sparkling wit, ingenious staging, and hilarious songs.
