Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
the World Premiere of
The Legacy of Baker Street
by Brian Dowling
Directed by Dan Schock
London, 1930s. The gaslight era is over, the Great Depression has settled in, and the legendary consulting detective of 221B Baker Street is long dead. But Dr. Watson left behind two daughters—Felicity and Charlotte—raised on stories of impossible cases and trained in the science of deduction. When a new criminal mastermind plunges the city into terror, the sisters must step out of their father's shadow and into an adventure of their own. Armed with sharp minds, sharper instincts, and methods inherited from the best, they'll prove that some legacies are meant to be carried forward. A new chapter in a very old story—and you'll see it here first.
Run Time - 2 hours, with one 15-minute intermission
When COVID-19 shut down live theater, we turned to streaming for our 2021 season. We tested the platform with a live 12-minute scene from ‘The Legacy of Baker Street,’ shown above. The play returned as a full-length, live production in 2023.
