Sherlock Holmes and the Music Hall Mystery
When Sherlock Holmes and his trusty assistant Doctor Watson are asked for help by a music hall performer in distress, the pair spring into action to foil a deeply dastardly plot of national importance that rocks London to the core!
Following on from their previous Sherlock Holmes mysteries – The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Case of Jekyll and Hyde, Rain or Shine Theatre invites you to enjoy an evening of adventure, mishaps, tomfoolery, and lashings of comedy!
Tickets are £12 adult and £8 child (under 15), available from David Downs at a Project Purley meeting or 0118 942 4167, or from the Rain or Shine website or from their box office ticket line on 03306 600541 (card payments).
Rain or Shine Theatre returns to the Barn for a performance of The Recruiting Officer on Saturday 16th July 7:30 pm.
Tickets from David Downs or online from Rain or Shine.
The Rain or Shine performance has been postponed from December to February, due to continuing restrictions in numbers in the Barn.

It’s 1872
The Nightingale has struck again! The famous art thief has stolen three paintings from museums around London and is now attempting to flee the country for the safety of foreign soil.
At the same time, Phileas Fogg and his new valet Passepartout are attempting to go Around the World in 80 Days in order to win a bet of £20,000.
But is that just a cover story to hide the dastardly escape of The Nightingale? That’s what Scotland Yard’s finest detective, Chief Inspector Fix, believes and he will stop at nothing to capture our heroes.
Join Rain or Shine Theatre Company for a knock-about adventure full of mishaps, tomfoolery, British stiff upper lip, curious camels and lashings of comedy!
Suitable for audiences from age 6 to 106
Rain or Shine Theatre Company restarted performances for Summer 2021 with ‘She Stoops to Conquer’ on 23rd July 2021.
This was the first big event in the Barn, but with the audience limited to 50, and the bar service table only. It took some organising!
A few images from the event:
The performance was as good as always.
But setup was a bit of a headache!
