“ Watched it from the front row this evening with both my children. They absolutely LOVED your performance (as did we) and couldn’t stop talking about it afterwards. Fantastic performances all round and captivating story telling! 

“ Congratulations to the cast of the excellent #SherlockHolmes at @TheatreRoyalBSE by @Blackeyedtheatr - superb piece of theatre, with terrific performances! 

“ I’m still buzzing from it this morning. Such great character work from each actor. They totally transformed from one role to the next. It was stage acting at its finest. Bravo! ”

“ I went to see Sherlock Holmes last night and it was brilliant.  The script’s phenomenal and the entire production (set, lighting, cast, staging) was spot on.  It was lovely to hear the audience enthusing too; many of them had seen Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll 

“ The two timelines in this very clever @Blackeyedtheatr production of #TheValleyofFear are seamlessly portrayed and easy to follow. Brilliant hardworking cast of five bring this novel to life. Absolutely loved it! 

“ Sherlock Holmes and The Valley of Fear by @Blackeyedtheatr is excellent. Really sharp script by Nick Lane and great performances by the whole cast 

“ Superb acting, excellent play, top quality production ”

“ Hi Blackeyed Theatre Company, I wanted to write just to offer you sincere congratulations and thanks for the recent performance of 'THE VALLEY OF FEAR' that my wife and I saw at Greenwich Theatre. It was impeccable as always and a thrilling story very well told. Brilliant acting from everyone involved and it fizzled with excitement and energy from the first. The musical accompaniment was perfect too and added to the wonderful experience we enjoyed and was well thought out in its content and placing. We make it a point to come out and see your company because we consider it to be the best around (and we have seen a few!) and favour the atmospheric Victorian productions that you do so well such as the aforementioned and 'The Sign Of Four' 'Dr Jekyll' etc. The work and effort the company put in is evident to see every time and does not go unnoticed or unappreciated believe me. So keep up the good work and carry on delivering these unique adaptations of the classic 'Victorian Gothic' that you are so obviously unrivalled at doing. I have subscribed to the mailing list for future information on productions to come and look forward to seeing this excellent team of Actors who work so well together as much as possible!  Blackeyed Theatre Company are truly a treat to behold and are a credit to the noble acting profession. Please pass my comments on to those involved 

“ Saw this yesterday and loved it. Everything you’d expect from a Sherlock Holmes story; mystery and excitement and thoroughly entertaining! 

“ @Blackeyedtheatr #sherlockholmes #valleyoffear What a truly sensational performance!!! Luke Barton your clarity of form was almost incandescent. You all did Sir Conan proud! 

“ Superb opening night @GreenwichTheatr! Brilliant performances & another beautiful production from @Blackeyedtheatr #SherlockHolmes #theatre ”

“ #TheValleyofFear @Blackeyedtheatr @GreenwichTheatr. Such a treat! Very powerful storytelling and a talented hard working ensemble, each playing multiple roles, and excelling in each. As a fellow theatregoer remarked “Superb”. #Sherlock #SherlockHolmes @shsoclondon @HolmesMagazine 

“ @Blackeyedtheatr Sherlock Holmes The Valley of Fear is a must . The plot the twists the accents ! A must see !!! 

“ #TheValleyofFear @Blackeyedtheatr @GreenwichTheatr. A super talented hard working ensemble, all playing multiple roles, and knocking it out of the park. A brilliant stage adaptation - a very palpable hit!

Barton and Derrington build chemistry, having played the duo before, and infuse their pairing with intensity

Quest Media

FULL REVIEW

“ Flickering between a British crime scene and a Pennsylvanian valley under the control of a villainous brotherhood of gangsters, the fast-paced story kept us hooked and alert for the following two hours. The suspense kept us questioning how the two parts were linked and what role the characters (both new and comfortingly familiar ones) play in these settings, whilst the dazzling switch between characters and accents never failed to keep us hooked on every spoken word

Yeah Lifestyle

FULL REVIEW

The Valley of Fear is a fine addition to the company’s canon. It’s actually two tales in one – the great detective’s untangling of a murder mystery and the backstory behind the crime – and Lane weaves them brilliantly together in a way that transforms Conan Doyle’s novel into something truly theatrical. The pacing is beautifully judged and the performances both entertaining and illuminating...

Classy, evocative and full of intrigue – everything you could want from a Sherlock Holmes adaptation

Stage Reviews

FULL REVIEW

 A production that was true to the old and faithful Sherlock Holmes we all think we know–Nick Lane just might prove that we aren’t even scratching the surface of what is possible with Doyle’s famous sleuth. If you have enjoyed Holmes in the past, then you will surely enjoy this production, and if it is your first time I can assure you that there are few better places to start

Era Journal

FULL REVIEW

 A stunning adaptation of a Sherlock Holmes classic...

The finale is worth the wait as the penny finally drops as to how Conan Doyle's beautifully crafted story comes to its tense & exciting conclusion

highly recommended for all devotees of Conan Doyle’s Holmes

Seen and Heard International

FULL REVIEW

★★★

a gripping and classical murder mystery. By merry tradition we, the viewers, are being kept as much in the dark as poor Dr. Watson is. The mystery is fittingly convoluted and just enough information is given at just the right times to keep the audience invested throughout

 The changing dynamic between Holmes (Luke Barton) and Watson (Joseph Derrington) is played to perfection and is entirely believable throughout. Sprinklings of light comedy throughout helped draw the audience in to Holmes’s world...

With a traditionally British charm, ‘Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear’ can be enjoyed by both fans of the series but also those new to the Sherlock Holmes universe

Suffolk News

FULL REVIEW

A very enjoyable play which will appeal to anyone who likes a murder mystery, whether or not they are particular fans of the Sherlock Holmes stories 

The Family Stage

FULL REVIEW

★★★

An ensemble of four actors and one actress (if one can still say that) each play up to six different characters, as well as moving the props for the scene changes.  That they play these different roles convincingly is a tribute to the rigour and dedication underpinning Blackeyed Theatre’s mission to take good plays to a countrywide audience

 A rollicking tale...

Very atmospheric and with seamless swaps between the scene of the crime and an American town under gang law twenty years earlier

Lou Reviews

FULL REVIEW

a very enjoyable couple of hours; a play that ran along straight lines, a good whodunnit and none the worse for that. Sometimes that’s what you want. The actors were fine, their technique fabulous...This excellent rendition of a well-structured Conan-Doyle Sherlock Holmes mystery is well worth your investment
