Sometimes we just have to wait and see what's in the stars.

A fascinating play which takes place across the period of a week
which we see from three different perspectives.
Clever writing from three viewpoints makes compelling viewing.

This very funny play takes place in London on the evening of 3 January 1895.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson have been to see the opening night of
Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. In the course of the evening Oscar Wilde
visits the duo as well as Queen Victoria! Wildean wit and epigrams aplenty.
