The Sign of Six

To celebrate the fact that Portsmouth is the birthplace of Sherlock and to promote the Collection - the largest public collection in the world of Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes materials - we hosted six immersive theatre productions in six areas of Portsmouth over six days. Each 5 minute event was filmed and can now be viewed again here.
