The game’s afoot! Fans of Sherlock Holmes will be avidly watching the tweed-suited, deer stalker hatted sleuth solve a new crime when it live-streams on Zoom this Saturday.

Surbiton author Orlando Pearson, who has written new adventures and plays for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s deducting wizard, has come up with another story based on true events.

German tennis star, Gottfried von Cramm, the world’s number one tennis player in 1937 (despite his gallant defeat the same year at Wimbledon in a thrilling Davis Cup tie – famed as one of the greatest games of tennis ever seen at the All England Club), defied the Nazis, refusing to endorse them as one of their ‘poster boys’.

In the play, von Cramm, who is being blackmailed, seeks the help of Sherlock Holmes, now an elderly man. Actor Jon Constant from the cornerHOUSE arts centre in Douglas Road plays Sherlock.

The Baron of Wimbledon zooms at 8pm on February 20. For more information and to register for this event (donations for good causes welcome) visit www.gofundme.com/f/sherlock-holmes-live

All attendees will receive a free Sherlock audio-book.
