Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: A Beautifully executed performance is how critic David McCaughna describes Patrick Horgan's Sherlock Holmes in The Speckled Band at the St. Lawrence centre. His self-assurance; steely glance and constant understatment are the pivots of this fake-serious production. The Speckled Band is a very old-fashioned play and director Malcolm Black floods it with period touches.
