A spokesperson says---
“...Weagly, co-author/adapter of the popular holiday play SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CASE OF THE CHRISTMAS GOOSE, crafted this new Holmes mystery from G.K. Chesterton’s short story “The Flying Stars,” which originally appeared in THE SATURDAY EVENING POST in 1911. The story was one of 53 stories Chesterton wrote about Father Brown - a fictional priest who was an amateur detective. Weagly’s play replaces Father Brown with Holmes as the detective seeking to locate three missing precious jewels stolen during a pantomime performed by the guests of a holiday party in the English countryside. The play includes traditional British carols sung by a four-person chorus, with occasional tweaks to the lyrics to comment on the story..."
