Een avond theater op het puntje van je stoel.Er zijn maar weinig personages die zo tot de verbeelding spreken als ’s werelds beroemdste detective: Sherlock Holmes. Met zijn scherpe observaties, briljante logica en mysterieuze uitstraling weet hij al generaties lang publiek te intrigeren. En nu komt hij naar het theater in een spannend nieuw moordmysterie.

Everyone gets older, but not everyone becomes an adult. The Van Arkel Brothers clearly do. Or at least, they are working on it. Their father, the minister, has retired, and now it is their turn to become someone. Someone with a vision. A plan. Someone with their own coffee machine, matching tea towels, arch supports, and a 12-piece screwdriver set. Someone who does the weekly grocery shopping every Saturday. Who doesn't doubt everything so much. Who doesn't have to outdo his brother every time. Someone you address formally without even realizing it.
