We're going back to the theater today! And there's a mystery afoot...
What happens when the worlds of
Sherlock Holmes and Ebenezer Scrooge are thrown together? Find out
in the new play that debuts today in NYC, A Sherlock Carol. My
guest today is Mark Shanahan, he’s the writer and director of the
play. He comes from an extensive background in acting, writing and
directing many plays both for the stage and radio. He stops by and
we chat about his new play, the challenges of performing theater
safely during a pandemic, and the power of stories - especially
those by Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens.
Then, I read a Christmas mystery story by Thomas Hardy called "The Thieves Who Couldn't Stop Sneezing." It is a funny short story about a young man named Hubert who stumbles across some thieves planning to rob a nearby mansion. Find out what happens in this charming holiday tale.
