In their fifth annual Fringe tribute to famous authors, the Mercators present ‘The Curious Case of Conan Doyle’. Having seen several of the previous productions I knew roughly what I was in for, a factual history of the author interspersed with dramatised excerpts from a number of his works. The performance is read out of four scripts enabling several people to participate in the performances. On the day I saw the show the readings were done by Angela Binnie, Alan Richardson, Susan Wales and Jim Witcomb. I admire the amount of research behind these productions and am fascinated by those parts of the histories I was not aware of. Always a fascinating performance especially if you have an interest in the author or his work, well performed by enthusiasts. ****
