The Mask of Moriarty

Pittsburgh City Paper: For those of us who have misspent much of our lives wallowing in the Golden Age of British Crime -- both fiction and fact, paper and celluloid -- Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre's production of The Mask of Moriarty is an unbridled romp of knowing chuckles, nodding guffaws and the occasional horselaugh. Hugh Leonard's 1985 play leaves few stops unpulled in this dissection of that first and greatest of franchise detectives, Sherlock Holmes. Director Alan Stanford, the show's original Dr. Watson, wraps it as a pretty package for holiday entertainment.
