Silent Sherlock: Three Classic Cases
Be the first to see the BFI’s new restoration of Conan Doyle’s favourite screen Sherlock, with live scores composed by Joanna MacGregor CBE, Neil Brand and Joseph Havlat.
Meet the iconic screen Holmes of the silent era, presented in the dramatic Victorian setting of Alexandra Palace Theatre. In the BFI National Archive’s new restoration of Stoll’s epic series, we present three episodes from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle himself was ‘amazed’ by Norwood’s ‘wonderful impersonation of Holmes’. Joanna MacGregor conducts a live ensemble of ten players, in partnership with the Royal Academy of Music.
Restoration funded by Iron Mountain. Additional support for the score and Special Presentation from The Charles Skey Charitable Trust and Cockayne – Grants for the Arts: a donor advised fund held at The London Community Foundation.
