David Whalen returns (for the 7th time) as Sherlock Holmes in the revival of Kinetic Theatre’s Holiday mystery, the Pittsburgh Premiere of Mark Shanahan’s New York & London hit play, A Sherlock Carol.

Kinetic Theatre Company returns this December with a Holiday treat for the whole family, the local premiere of Mark Shanahan’s play, A Sherlock Carol.   Actor David Whalen stars as Sherlock Holmes, returning to his signature role, with a stellar supporting cast led by Simon Bradbury as Watson, James FitzGerald as Scrooge, Susie McGregor-Laine as Mrs. Dilber, Caroline Nicolian as the Countess of Morcar, Mackenzie Heidenreich as Emma Wiggins, & Joseph McGranaghan as Dr. Timothy “Tiny Tim” Cratchit.   The New York Times calls Mark Shanahan’s A Sherlock Carol “a clever, crowd-pleasing, holiday comedy.” Moriarty is dead, to begin with, and Sherlock Holmes is a haunted man.
