SHERLOCK HOLMES & THE CRUCIFER OF BLOOD Comes To Alley Theatre, Begins 7/15

Beginning July 2009 Alley Theatre will produce Sherlock Holmes and The Crucifer of Blood during its popular ExxonMobil Summer Chills series. The perfect summer outing for Houstonians seeking a cool respite from the summer heat, ExxonMobil Summer Chills is a great way to introduce live theatre to first-timers, giving them an opportunity to thrill in suspenseful moments and unexpected revelations.

Sherlock Holmes and The Crucifer of Blood, by Paul Giovanni and Directed by Alley Theatre Artistic Director Gregory Boyd, begins performances Wednesday, July 15 and runs through Sunday, August 16 on the Hubbard Stage.

In Sherlock Holmes and The Crucifer of Blood two murders and a treasure of jewels lead to a blood oath and an uncanny mystery that the master detective must solve before more fall victim. Amid fog-shrouded London, Holmes and Watson confront danger and an ingenious villain intent on making a curse come true. This exotic and thrilling mystery driven by greed, deceit and murder is recommended for teens and adults.
