Barbara Rusch, BSI ("The Mazarin Stone") is a collector of Victoriana and ephemera, and more importantly is the author of the play "The Crossing: or Three Authors in Search of a Character."<br /> <br /> In a barren antechamber three titans meet unexpectedly. Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, and Harry Houdini are not pleased to be spending the afterlife in each other's company, and a clash of egos is the result. A mystery interloper only seems to add fuel to the fire. Ultimately, the connection is revealed: they all have unresolved issues with Arthur Conan Doyle, and their mission at last becomes clear.

So many, in fact, that we don't have time to get into all of them in a single episode.<br /> <br /> Suffice it to say that between his play Holmes & Watson, his secret desire (and success!) in writing for <i>Star Trek</i>, and the web series <i>Herlock</i>, we find much to cover with Lee. A Sherlockian from his earliest years, we go on a journey with Lee from his fascination with Sherlock Holmes that spanned from the Basil Rathbone era to the Nicholas Meyer reincarnations during Lee's formative years.<br /> <br /> Lee took a one-man play and his own interest in acting, and turned it inward to focus on the finer points of the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in his insightful and exciting play. And he brandished his own sense of humor for years in the <i>Baker Street Journal</i> as a cartoonist.<br /> <br /> We have some of his cartoons available exclusively for our Patreon supporters.<br /> <br /> Please try your hand at the latest <b>Canonical Couplet</b> and try to win a prize – you don't need to be a<b><i> </i></b><a href="http://ihose.co/ihosepatron" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Patron of the Arts</a> <i>– </i><b style="font-style: italic;">every </b>listener is eligible to participate!

We don't have details on his death, other than reports on Twitter that emerged last week.</span><br /> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">To Sherlockians, Llewellyn was best known for his work in the one-may plays </span><b><i>Sherlock Holmes: The Last Act</i></b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> (1999-2014) and </span><b><i>Sherlock Holmes: The Death and Life</i></b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> (2014), both written by </span><b>David Stuart Davies, BSI</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> ("Sir Ralph Musgrave"). According to <a href="http://www.davidstuartdavies.co.uk/sherlock-holmes">Davies' website</a>, the former premiered at Salisbury Playhouse in 1999 and won an award at the Edinburgh Festival that same year. The latter was commissioned by Llewellyn and opened at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford.</span><br /> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">A summary of <i>Sherlock Holmes: The Last Act</i>:</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> It is 1916 and Sherlock Holmes has returned to his rooms in Baker Street after attending the funeral of his long time associate, Dr John H Watson. Holmes reflects on the old days and comes to realize that not only was there so much that he had shared with Watson in his lifetime but also there was so much that he had not revealed to him: things he had kept hidden, including his deep affection for his friend. Imagining that Watson is present, Holmes addresses this failing and touches on aspects of past cases and the various characters he encountered during his investigations, including ‘The Woman’ Irene Adler and of course Professor Moriarty. </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> As Holmes delves deeper into the darker aspects of his own history, he reveals a shocking secret. Realizing now how lonely and isolated he is without his old comrade, and adrift in a new modern and war-ravaged age, he comes to wonder whether, like Watson, he too has come to the end of his time…</blockquote> <div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">We had a chance to see Llewellyn in this role in a theater in New York City during a BSI Weekend some 15 or so years ago. And you can get a sense of what his approach was like, thanks to a YouTube video capturing some of <a href="https://youtu.be/ZG7U7y-OUZg">Sherlock Holmes and the Last Act</a>:</span><br /> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </span></div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZG7U7y-OUZg?rel=0&showinfo=0" width="560"></iframe><br /></div> <div> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> Audio performances of <a href="https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/sherlock-holmes-the-last-act-4?range=27" target="_blank">The Last Act</a> and <a href="https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/sherlock-holmes-the-death-and-life-15?range=27" target="_blank">The Death and Life</a> are available from Big Finish.

Since that time, the great detective has been portrayed countless times by hundreds of actors in big productions from the West End to Broadway, as well as in community theaters everywhere.<br /> <br /> In this episode, we spoke with playwright David MacGregor, who is a resident artist at Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea, Michigan. He has written for the stage and film and his inspiration includes Shakespeare, Dickens, and of course, Conan Doyle. David's latest work is an intriguing tale called <i><a href="http://www.purplerosetheatre.org/sherlock-holmes-and-the-adventure-of-the-elusive-ear/">Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Elusive Ear</a></i>.<br /> <br /> David doesn't give away the plot, but he did tell us that Oscar Wilde, Vincent van Gough and others find themselves in the presence of the great detective, and the result is a mixture of comedy, tragedy, romance, adventure and more. Directed by Guy Sanville and holding previews on March 29, the play opens to the public on April 6, 2018.<br /> <br /> And don't forget to try your hand at the latest Canonical Couplet, <b><i>as long as you're a </i></b><a href="http://ihose.co/ihosepatron"><b><i>Patron of the Arts</i></b></a>.<br /> <br /> <div> <div> Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.</div> <br /> <div style="orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; widows: 2;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="margin: 0px;"> <br /></div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="margin: 0px;">  <a href="http://ihose.co/ihosepatron" target="_blank"><img height="40" src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/widget-images/become-patron-widget-medium%402x.png" style="color: #0000ee; cursor: move;" width="204" /></a></div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="margin: 0px;"> <br /></div> </div> <br /> <br /> And please consider becoming a <a href="http://ihose.co/ihosepatron">Patron of the Arts</a>.

From his home base in Memphis to 221B Con and the BSI Weekend, he's been seen in exquisite and faithful costumes inspired by William Gillette, Jeremy Brett an Basil Rathbone. Tim is an award winning Sherlockian, having been honored with the Beacon Award from the <a href="http://www.beaconsociety.com/" target="_blank">Beacon Society</a> and the <a href="http://bakerstreetjournal.com/morleymontgomeryaward.html" target="_blank">Morley Montgomery Award</a> for the best article in the <i>Baker Street Journal</i> in 2014.<br /> <br /> Tim's specialty is the theater, and he shares his inspiration with us, ranging from the difficulty in physically portraying a cerebral character to the proper staging and set decoration of the sitting rooms at 221B Baker Street. Sherlock Holmes has been presented on stage in one way or another for 125 years and there continue to be many interpretations and inspirations ahead.<br /> <br /> Plus, a new Sherlock Holmes Brand ad and a special Easter egg.</div> <div> <div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;">  <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=4921564"><img height="40" src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/widget-images/become-patron-widget-medium%402x.png" style="color: #0000ee;" width="204" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> And please consider joining our <a href="http://patreon.com/ihearofsherlock" target="_blank">Patreon community</a>.

His Watson was played by Peter Sallis, Moriarty by Martin Gabel and Irene Adler was portrayed by Inga Swensen.<br /> <br /> We were lucky enough to have interviewed Fritz Weaver on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere in <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose26" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 26: A Musical Stroll Down Baker Street</a>.
