June 14 – 30

Wade James Theater

950 Main St,  $28 for Adults, $25 for Juniors, Seniors & Military

With performances in its second weekend for the closing show of its 2018-2019 season, the Edmonds Driftwood Players present Sherlock Holmes & the Case of the Jersey Lily written by local playwright Katie Forgette.

The wit of Oscar Wilde meets the cunning of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle when Wilde brings his dear friend, Lillie Langtry, to Baker Street. Someone has stolen the highly intimate letters Lillie exchanged with the Prince of Wales, and now she is being blackmailed. Only Holmes can solve the case, going so far as to disguise himself as an early version of Lady Bracknell from Wilde’s latest play, The Importance of Being Forthright, while Watson falls head-over-heels for the Jersey Lily and a wicked professor attempts to bring the Crown to its knees. Plot synopsis by Playscripts, Inc.

Featuring Sarita Benson, Scott C. Brown, Jacob Livingston, Gabriel Ponce, Robert Quick, Jenifer Rifenberry, Jay Vilhauer and Joe Wack. For tickets and more information visit: edmondsdriftwoodplayers.org/2018-2019-season/sherlock-holmes-and-the-case-of-the-jersey-lily/

Edmonds Driftwood Players has announced its upcoming 2019 – 2020 season. For details, subscription sales and ways to customise your subscription, call 425-774-9600.
