Buffalo Bill's Wild West is the hottest ticket in town and its star Miss Annie Oakley travels to Baker Street to ask Sherlock Holmes to find her missing brother. What ensues is a tale of international intrigue multiple murders and a war for supremacy over the London underworld."This show. has it all. Plenty of good jokes in this show both verbal and physical some bordering on delightful slapstick but who doesn't need a good belly laugh these days?" - Bristol Herald Courier"Slick classy. it's great fun. This is not the kind of Holmes and Watson thriller where the audience is expected to try to unravel a mystery. There is no way audience members will stumble on the real crime any faster than Sherlock explains it." - Calgary Herald"Wright's world-premiere play Sherlock Holmes and the American Problem pairs the inimitable Baker Street sleuth with an intrinsically American celebrity: Annie Oakley sharpshooter star of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. a nifty faux-historical wrinkle." - The Seattle Times.
