Holmes and Watson: The Farewell Tour at the Space, Edinburgh

Written By Tristan Jackson-Pate

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...

 

 

Tristan Jackson-Pate

My name is Tristan Jackson-Pate and I am a theatre maker.

I’m originally from Stroud and first found a place of belonging in a youth theatre, which changed my life. I went on to train as an actor at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and now I find the most joy in creating professional theatre with and for young people.

Since 2015, I’ve been Artistic Director of the award-winning People’s Theatre Collective in Oxfordshire. I’ve also worked in a freelance capacity with wonderful organisations like Creation Theatre, Oxford Playhouse and The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.

During ten years as a writer, director and facilitator, I’ve written nine plays, a short film, and facilitated inclusive community arts projects in creative writing, devised theatre, and music composition with diverse participants. My freelance writing includes children’s stories, song commissions, educational videos, and sightseeing tours.

I’m an Associate Artist at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, a past Associate at the Old Rep Theatre, Birmingham and a Mentor Director for the National Theatre Connections programme.

As a trustee for Sophie's Silver Lining Fund, I’m committed to creating inclusive, youth led spaces that empower young people to discover their potential no matter their background. A drive to reduce inequality and champion fairer opportunities underpins all my work.
