Save the dates! The Jenny Wren’s are returning to our walled garden with their new production – Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Governor’s Nose.

Extra! Extra! Painting stolen from distinguished art gallery!

Everyone’s favourite detective duo (no, not Shaggy and Scooby) are given the Jenny Wren treatment.

Holmes and Watson are called upon to investigate the disappearance of a legendary painting, The Governor’s Nose. But all is not as elementary as it seems.

As mysterious forces – and an assortment of shady characters – work to undermine our heroes, they need all the wit, guile, and deduction capabilities in their arsenal, along with the help of the steadfast Mrs Hudson and Detective “Always-One-Step-Behind” Lestrade.

The hour grows late. The paint has dried. The game is afoot.

Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Governor’s Nose is a comic new play, based on The Naval Treaty and The Man with the Twisted Lip, with apologies to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Jenny Wren Productions is a Gloucestershire-based professional theatre company, formed in 2004. In the summer they can be found performing classic plays under the stars at open-air venues around the county, including Berkeley Castle, Cowley Manor and Highnam Court near Gloucester. The autumn usually takes us on another tour, often with a new play, to small theatres and rural venues. We have strong links with the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre and perform there regularly. We have toured schools, libraries and care homes with Theatre in Education projects and incorporating educational workshops.

The company comprises a pool of actors, musicians, designers, stage managers, producer and director. Many of our projects have been funded by Arts Council England and with others we have raised money for charities including the Pied Piper Appeal at Gloucester Hospital and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
