Sound & Fury - Sherlock Holmes And The Saline Solution
Le Cascadeur, The Garden Of Unearthly Delights, Sun Feb 22
Here are three things I know about Sherlock: his last name was Holmes; he lived on Baker St; and he wore a funny hat (oh, and he’s not real). Turns out that’s about what American trio Sound & Fury know about the famous detective too, but that hasn’t stopped them from putting together a one-hour romp featuring Sherlock, his good friend Watson and a bunch of other gender bending characters. Sound & Fury’s Richard, Shelby and Vinnie bumble through a silly whodunit that makes as much sense as manly nipples with Sherlock, who has a knack for knockers, slipping in more double entendres than Watson can poke a pipe at. It’s a clever, high energy show with more than a few laughs. Forget your numb bum (damn those tent benches!) and the ridiculously convoluted plot - just get ready to ooh, ah, sing along and enjoy the ride.
