info_outlineThis time, we talk with renowned playwright Ken Ludwig and his right-hand Ashley Polasek (does that make her a Watson or a Moran?) about Ken's new play Moriarty: A New Sherlock Holmes Adventure, and its world premiere at the Cleveland Play House. There are a lot of delightful peeks behind-the-scenes, some excellent insights into storytelling with Sherlockian characters, and, well, quite a lot of gushing from Madeline.
And as we've done before, there's a section where we talk full spoilers — literally, we do genuinely talk about the end of the play. So if you want to remain unspoiled, stop listening at 00:56:05 and come back at 1:20:30 to hear what Ken is up to now!
