The grisly serial killings of prostitutes and vulnerable women in Victorian Whitechapel, dubbed by the popular press as the work of 'Jack the Ripper', are the talk of London, and from deep within the smog-ridden slums, yet another piercing shriek is heard. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson are drawn into one of the darkest plots ever to shake the foundations of England. There are freemasons, conspiracies and plots at the highest level of the establishment.

Dark forces that, it seems, Dr. Watson must face alone...afoot!

Jules Verne's two novels featuring Captain Nemo (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island), condensed down to two thrilling hours. In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, marine scientist Professor Aronnax and his stowaway daughter, Connie, join whaler Ned Land aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln to hunt an aggressive sea monster, believed to be a giant narwhale. When they engage the monster, they find to their astonishment it's an electrically powered submarine, the Nautilus, technologically far superior to any vessel known.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Good Amateur Vaudeville
Modern writing with a hint of the true Sherlock amongst it. Very different to usual recordings in that this is narrated throughout like a vaudeville production. I like these recordings and have bought he whole collection simply because of the connection to Sherlock of which I have an avid interest and collect everything recorded relating to this enigmatic character. Most Audible Full Cast Sherlocks are in my collection. This gives me an enjoyable varied collection and no two productions are the same.
These will not appeal to all Sherlock fans: personnel choice. The acting is not first rate. I found the actors still played as if they were performing an amateur production at Uni as part of their exam. Acting skills need to be much polished - very stilted and over react at times. Voice production varies from ok to totally of score. These productions need Professional actors (they probably are but they are not good).
For me, I listen and enjoy with the view that I am listening to the latest amateur dramatics giving their all on a first night. Different and I do not have any high expectations but take these plays and enjoy for what they are. I always have my other full casts.
