Hello we are putting out 2015 season together, I would like to end it with a "Sherlock Holmes" type comedy or farce.  Any suggestions? For reference we are a small community theatre with a small stage and with 75 seats in the house.

 I wrote one a couple years ago based on "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle". It's a comedy, has a bit of romance etc, jsut about an hour long if I recall. It was wrote as a Christmas play, we called it "A Sherlock Holmes Christmas" but it would be easy to take the Christmas out.  We did it several venues, all small stages, we used one set, and did some of it in front of curtain. Cast of ten or so methinks. Let me know if you are interested.

There are a couple of (specifically Sherlock Holmes) comedies here http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/Scripts/Results.aspx?&iXM=5&iXF=5&iFL=1&iMR=60&iCy=1&sI1=Sherlock_Holmes
  If you want a comedy in that style, without necessarily including the character of Holmes, then there are others here http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/Scripts/Results.aspx?&iXM=5&iXF=5&iFL=1&iMR=60&iMy=1&iCy=1
