Mark Shanahan - A Sherlock Carol

A SHERLOCK CAROL

Written and Directed by Mark Shanahan

Off-Broadway at New World Stages,

London's Marylebone Theatre

"Mark Shanahan remixes Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens into a clever, crowd-pleasing holiday comedy that happens also to be a murder mystery.... This production is in good hands, and so are we." -- The New York Times Critics' Pick

"Quality stuff, performed with total commitment and aplomb by a cast of top-shelf pros. The writer-director Mark Shanahan cleverly entwines Doyle’s and Dickens’s tropes until it feels like they were meant to coexist in the same pan-Victorian universe. The merger is funny, but it’s much more homage than parody. " -- The New Yorker

"Playwright-director Mark Shanahan has the perfect holiday gift for you. He calls it A Sherlock Carol, and it’s the result of a show-stopping inspiration he’s had...With every Christmas season, many creators set their sights on introducing a possible seasonal staple... Dickens did that, and I submit that now Mark Shanahan has done it... Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is A Sherlock Carol. -- New York Stage Review
