Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Speckled Band radio drama
East Haddam Stage Company uses CT native William Gillette’s actual script, originally broadcast in October of 1930 from NY City. (He created the character of Sherlock Holmes for the stage in 1899). In their production, 4 actors portray 7 characters (including a complete sound effects table!). It is a 1-hour presentation consisting of a 15-minute intro by producing artistic director Kandie Carle, touching on mid-20th century radio shows in general and the discovery of the script, along with details on the production for Gillette Castle State Park. Then they launch into the 30-minute show where attendees become the ‘studio audience’and then wrap up with a Q & A. Free and open to all. Registration is strongly suggested as seating is limited. Online registration is available 1 month prior to the program. Sponsored by the Friends of Acton Public Library.
