 FROM THE
DIRECTORS

Miss Carlie Mason Mr Brad Downie

Welcome to “Sheerluck Holmes” - the fifth
annual production presented by Moama
Anglican Grammar School. This play of-
fers a humorous depiction of all the clichés
involved in a murder mystery.
Once again our cast has done an outstand-
ing job in learning lines and bringing their
characters to life.
For the first time our ‘senior’ drama class of
Year 9 and 10 students have taken on the
massive responsibility of becoming the pro-
duction team. They have done a fantastic
job! We have also had an incredibly enthu-
siastic backstage crew. This year we truly
have a show that is brought to you by our
own students in every way!
We would like to thank the parents who
have volunteered to help with costumes and
props – their assistance has been invalu-
able.
A big thank you also goes out to our col-
leagues who have been a support in accom-
modating our rehearsal schedule!
We hope you enjoy this play. We encourage
all students, families and friends to consider
becoming involved in the performing arts at
Moama Anglican Grammar School. As this
area continues to grow, there are terrific
opportunities to have fun, meet new people
and experience the thrill of being part of
special events such as these.

PLOT
Set within the framework of late Victorian England, this play is a hilariously extravagant
send-up of the great detective and the ever-bumbling Watson!
A clever witty script takes an array of characters through the foggy, dark humour of this mur-
der mystery. Never since ‘Hamlet’, have there been so many bodies!
Who done it ?
Why, it’s elementary....
