5) Theater in Place - An online, interactive theatre for children of all ages, and those who love adventure – featuring actors and circus performers from around the world. The project was conceived as a way to support the arts and entertain those sheltering in place during these challenging times, performing original skits based on classic and timeless stories, such as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Sherlock Holmes. Children and adults can watch, solve puzzles and riddles, participate (if they choose) in challenges, and have multiple chances to win valuable prizes.

4) Sherlock Holmes: The Final Reckoning -This is a British play, written by noted Sherlockian David Stuart Davies and directed by Emily Ingram. It was a Twisted Thistles production, performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 25th February to 3rd March 2019 (6 performances), starring Michael Daviot as Sherlock Holmes and Mark Kydd as Dr. Watson.

3) On Demand - All 13 episodes of 'Sherlock' are available on BBC iPlayer, and the first two series of the Jeremy Brett Granada dramatisations are available on ITV Hub.
2) 'Miss Sherlock' - Available for purchase on YouTube and Amazon Prime, a female-led adaptation of the stories, this show is primarily set in Tokyo, Japan. It is a co-production between HBO Asia and Hulu Japan and depicts consulting detective, Sara 'Sherlock' Shelly Futaba (Yūko Takeuchi) solving various mysteries in modern-day Tokyo. Sherlock is assisted by her flatmate, Dr. Wato Tachibana [known by Sherlock as 'Wato San'] (Shihori Kanjiya), a doctor who has recently returned from volunteering medical aid in Syria. Because of Sherlock's keen observational and deduction skills, she is frequently asked by Inspector Gentaro Reimon of the Metropolitan Police to help with cases. Although the series depicts a variety of crimes and perpetrators, Sherlock must deal with the secret organization, Stella Maris, who is behind some of the crimes they solve.
1) Jonathan Goodwin - Not to be confused with the escapologist, Jonathan Goodwin is the Artistic Director of the 'Don't Go Into the Cellar Theatre Company', the UK's finest practitioners of theatrical Victoriana in a macabre vein, including several Goodwin-starring Sherlockian one man shows. During lockdown, their tours are on hold, but they have begun live streaming their shows. The first (unfortunately no longer available) was 'Re. Sherlock Holmes' (featuring 'The Lion's Mane' and 'The Blanched Soldier'), but the more recent, 'Strictly Sherlock' (featuring 'The Sussex Vampire' and 'The Creeping Man') is available until 30th May 2020 (so, you'll have to be quick). This comes highly recommended (Please see promotional trailer for my reaction when I saw it live).
