Please note when COVID19 struck The Radioplay Hour’s season of “Murder and Hope…. But mostly Murder” which this story was being performed under as a live theatre show. Thinking quick on my feet in order for the show to go on I utilized the garage, cupboards, and mobile phones I decided to make The Radioplay Hour a podcast with a recreation of this Sherlock Holmes adventure as the first episode. If you would like to read more about this you can find it on blogs under the "Turning 2020 into the 1920s" on my website.
