SUNDAY at 6:00PM
For this final night of our fall season fundraiser we're pleased to present this classic from the MASTERPIECE vaults, a special episode of the modern retelling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic stories that returns Sherlock and is faithful friend, Dr. John Watson, to 1890s London. Beloved characters Mary Morstan, Inspector Lestrade, and Mrs. Hudson also turn up at 221b Baker Street. The Abominable Bride won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie, the first win of the series in that category.
The story begins in 1895 as Inspector Lestrade arrives and presents Holmes and Watson with a puzzling case: Emelia Ricoletti, a consumptive bride, had fired a gun at by-passers in the street from a balcony before fatally shooting herself. Later that evening, Mr. Ricoletti was confronted by Emelia, who shot him dead before disappearing into the fog. Fascinated by Emelia's apparent survival, Holmes takes the case.
The Abominable Bride is a wonderfully complex case filled with surprises, so we'll tell you no more about it. Suffice it to say that if you enjoy Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman's version of Sherlock you will not want to miss it!
