Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of Boscombe Valley continues its journey on the Parisian stage and has now found a home at the Théâtre Les 3 Clés. Adapted and directed by Christophe Delort, this production is inspired by The Boscombe Valley Mystery, one of the fifty-six short stories penned by Arthur Conan Doyle that features the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes.
The story kicks off with a gripping mystery. James McCarthy stands accused of murdering his father, and the rocks seem to be piling up against him. Sherlock Holmes, alongside his trusty companion Dr. Watson, sets out on a meticulous investigation to see beyond the surface. Through interviews, clues, and sharp deductions, the play weaves a compelling theatrical investigation that is engaging and accessible for all audiences.
The stage setup features a minimalist cast. Three actors bring to life nine characters, delivering a performance that is swift and easy to follow. This economical approach harks back to a tradition of narrative theater, where quick role-switching actively contributes to the show's energy and momentum.
Created several years ago, the play has had an eventful journey, including multiple seasons at the Théâtre du Grand Point Virgule, performances at the Splendid, and at the Théâtre du Gymnase Marie-Bell. It has also been featured several times at the Avignon Festival. Today, it stands as a lasting landmark in the world of crime drama, drawing inspiration from Conan Doyle’s timeless detective tales.
With a runtime of approximately 90 minutes, this show is tailored for young audiences as well as adults, suitable for ages 8 and up. Performances are scheduled on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The production is also listed as eligible for the 2026 Molière Awards.
Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of Boscombe Valley is now playing at the Théâtre Les 3 Clés and will be running until January 31, 2026.
