The Mystery of the Valkyrie — Woodward Productions
The game is afoot in Brisbane, with this world-premiere 'Sherlock Homes' mystery taking to QPAC's stage.
Overview
Deerstalker caps at the ready — Sherlock Holmes is coming to Brisbane. The most portrayed literary human character in film and television history is heading to South Bank, all thanks to world-premiere production The Mystery of the Valkyrie. Yes, Brissie gumshoes, the game is definitely afoot.
If you've watched Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr, Henry Cavill, Jonny Lee Miller, Ian McKellen and Will Ferrell's takes on the Arthur Conan Doyle-penned character (and that's just in the past decade or so), now's the time to see Eugene Gilfedder (Babyteeth) unleash his deductive powers. In The Mystery of the Valkyrie, he plays Holmes back in 19th-century London. His task: to solve the murder of a scientist.
Watson and Moriarty both feature in this detective-focused play, because it wouldn't be a Holmes story without them — and you can expect QPAC's Playhouse to look the part thanks to a savvy staging and projection setup.
All that's left is to sleuth yourself a ticket to the show's run between Saturday, March 11–Sunday, March 19.
If it all sounds familiar, that's because The Mystery of the Valkyrie was initially meant to debut in 2022, but was postponed due to QPAC's flooding.
