Tristan will direct "Holmes and Watson: The Farewell Tour" for this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The play, written by Stuart Fortey and produced by David Adkin will play at the The Space, Edinburgh at 8.25pm daily from the 15th-27th of August.

A national tour is then planned for Spring 2017.

The play will feature Adrian Banks as Sherlock Holmes and Liam Nooney as Dr Watson and will be rehearsed in Oxfordshire in the weeks leading up to the festival. There will be preview performances at several Oxfordshire venues in July, to be announced shortly.

The play is a slapstick farce, very much in keeping with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original Victorian setting, featuring all of the intrigue and excitement you'd expect from the classic stories, as well as music of the period, some daring escapades and shocking new light cast on famous Holmes cases...
