| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes MAUREEN. WHITTAKER, 2020-10-23 Holmes could be rude, impatient, abrupt, and his intolerance of fools was legendary. I tried to show all this, all of the man's incredible brilliance. But there are some cracks in Holmes's marble, as in an almost-perfect Rodin statue. And I tried to show that, too. It's difficult for me to say what I may have given to the image of Holmes. Faithful to Conan Doyle's text, certainly. Also, I've tried to bring out the emotion that is there in Holmes. On the surface he seems a cold, sometimes dark, rather off-putting figure. But deeper down, I think, he's a man of feeling. Jeremy Jeremy Brett is still recognised as the most celebrated incarnation of Sherlock Holmes which he presented for ten years. Jeremy delighted viewers with his dashing, arrogant, moody interpretation of the most popular famous detective he brought a brooding intensity to his finest role - one of disturbing power. He is still called the definitive Sherlock Holmes. Important Note: This book is an extract from the 468 page biography, 'Jeremy Brett - Playing a Part' - this book contains the Sherlock Holmes section only. If you already have the full book then there is minimal additional content here. We wanted, however, to make a Sherlock Holmes specific version available. |

| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead Tom Stoppard, 2007-12-01 Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the worm’s-eve view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare’s play. In Tom Stoppard’s best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where echoes of Waiting for Godot resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end. Tom Stoppard was catapulted into the front ranks of modem playwrights overnight when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead opened in London in 1967. Its subsequent run in New York brought it the same enthusiastic acclaim, and the play has since been performed numerous times in the major theatrical centers of the world. It has won top honors for play and playwright in a poll of London Theater critics, and in its printed form it was chosen one of the “Notable Books of 1967” by the American Library Association. |

| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 2021-03-08 Two days later found me at the Hotel National at Lausanne, where I received every courtesy at the hands of M. Moser, the well-known manager. Lady Frances, as he informed me, had stayed there for several weeks. She had been much liked by all who met her. Her age was not more than forty. She was still handsome and bore every sign of having in her youth been a very lovely woman. M. Moser knew nothing of any valuable jewellery, but it had been remarked by the servants that the heavy trunk in the lady's bedroom was always scrupulously locked. Marie Devine, the maid, was as popular as her mistress. She was actually engaged to one of the head waiters in the hotel, and there was no difficulty in getting her address. It was 11 Rue de Trajan, Montpellier. All this I jotted down and felt that Holmes himself could not have been more adroit in collecting his facts.Only one corner still remained in the shadow. No light which I possessed could clear up the cause for the lady's sudden departure. She was very happy at Lausanne. There was every reason to believe that she intended to remain for the season in her luxurious rooms overlooking the lake. And yet she had left at a single day's notice, which involved her in the useless payment of a week's rent. Only Jules Vibart, the lover of the maid, had any suggestion to offer. He connected the sudden departure with the visit to the hotel a day or two before of a tall, dark, bearded man. Un sauvage--un veritable sauvage! cried Jules Vibart. |

| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, P. James Macaluso, 2016-07-12 Sherlock Holmes, the world's “only unofficial consulting detective”, was first introduced to readers in A Study in Scarlet published by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. It was with the publication of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, however, that the master sleuth grew tremendously in popularity, later to become one of the most beloved literary characters of all time. In this book series, the short stories comprising The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes have been amusingly illustrated using only Lego® brand minifigures and bricks. The illustrations recreate, through custom designed Lego models, the composition of the black and white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of these adventures appearing in The Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. Paget's iconic illustrations are largely responsible for the popular image of Sherlock Holmes, including his deerstalker cap and Inverness cape, details never mentioned in the writings of Conan Doyle. This uniquely illustrated collection, which features some of the most famous and enjoyable cases investigated by Sherlock Holmes and his devoted friend and biographer Dr. John H. Watson, including A Sandal in Bohemia and The Red-Headed League, is sure to delight Lego enthusiasts, as well as fans of the Great Detective, both old and new.

THE ADVENTURE OF THE NOBLE BACHELOR: Sherlock Holmes is consulted by Lord Robert St. Simon whose wife, Hatty Doran, disappeared shortly after their wedding. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard is convinced that culpability rests with Miss Flora Millar, a former acquaintance of Lord St. Simon. Holmes, though,quickly discerns the true fate of Miss Doran as he realizes that the solution to this delicate problem resides in her past back in the United States. |
| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1 Nik Marcel, Arthur Conan Doyle, 2016-02-09 THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES Vol.1: English to French IMPORTANT NOTE: The English text has been modernised and adapted, and has in large part been rewritten according to the French translation. THIS EDITION: Volume 1 of this bilingual edition of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes contains three stories: 'The Red-headed Association'; 'A Case of Identity'; and 'The Five Orange Pips'. This volume includes an introductory section summarising the important aspects of French grammar. The digital edition also contains a translation skills test. The dual-language text has been arranged into small bilingual snippets for quick and easy cross-referencing. The content is ideal for assisting the intermediate language learner to transition to foreign language only content. Also, if the content is too difficult, there is other material put out by 2Langauge Books that can help. If you are a beginner, read the native language snippet first. If you are at an intermediate level, read the foreign language snippet first. The advanced level is like the beginners level, except you have to try and figure out the foreign language text, instead of having it provided. One way to do this is to cover the foreign text snippet. In the digital edition, you can take an intermediate or advanced level skills test. The digital edition also contains the content in 'French to English' format. However, the print versions in 'English to French' and 'French to English' are two separate books. Many basic language books offer some form of audio support. Internet services - primarily news based radio stations - offer podcasts. Audio from television is an additional resource, and can be formatted for use on various digital platforms. However, if audio is an important component of your interest in languages, electronic devices that support quality text-to-speech (TTS) will likely be appealing. With a library card, TTS technology (in a device that supports the relevant content), and the above mentioned resources (as digital content), an entire language learning system is available for not much more than a cup of coffee! There is no substantial financial outlay to get you started. Furthermore, there are no additional ongoing fees (and updates), and there are no expiry dates on 'premium' content and resources.

| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: More than an Actor W. Grey Champion, 2018-03-14 Well-bred, educated at Eton and the Central School for Speech and Drama in London, the youngest of four boys in an upper-class family, Peter H. was in many ways the embodiment of Englishness, from the way he took his tea to his love of Shakespeare. Encouraged by his wonderful mother, he chose a career in acting and, under the tutelage of Sir Laurence Olivier at the British National Theatre Company, became a stellar performer - a classical actor in the postwar era of gritty realism. W. Grey Champion's narrative, relying on contemporary accounts of people who knew Peter, tells the haunting story of the man himself - beset by misfortune and tragedy, which aggravated mental and physical disorders ending his life too soon. The author withholds Peter's stage name early on in order to accentuate his vision of a truly superlative person, who was much more than an actor. A compelling imaginative read that pays tribute to the memory of the venerable Jeremy Brett (Peter Jeremy William Huggins). - Linda Pritchard |
| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: Sherlock Holmes Far and Wide Gretchen Altabef, 2025-01-21 A boldly portrayed Holmes. Exciting, ingenious, and a delight to read. The Sherlock Holmes Journal. Sherlock Holmes-Far And Wide is a compilation of Gretchen Altabef's somewhat broader short stories and one play, originally published separately in anthologies and now collected in this volume. Sir Arthur & The Time Machine grew out of the crucible Arthur Conan Doyle faced during his decision to write The Adventure of the Final Problem. When the Belanger Brothers called for stories for their anthology, Sherlock Holmes Further Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells, Ms Altabef was inspired to write her first Sci-Fi story. It received Fiction Honours from the ACD Society. The play, A Toast Darling, was inspired by a humorous reference of Mr Jeremy Brett to a meeting between himself and Mr Sherlock Holmes that neither of them showed up to. George Roland Wills's story, A Short Phantasy. Jeremy Brett meets Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and the work of editing Maureen Whittaker's book, Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes. Boxing Day Brother Mine, a unique holiday adventure placed in the middle of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle. Sherlock brings his brother Mycroft into the heart of his dilemma. Black Peter's Misplaced Mariners is an attempt to solve one of at least two mysteries Arthur Conan Doyle so brilliantly left behind in his story, The Adventure Of Black Peter. Altabef wrote her first parody for this volume, Crime is common. Humour is rare. The Many Deaths of Sherlock Holmes. The tradition of parody in Sherlock Holmes' writing dates back to 1893, when Under the Clock, was performed at the Royal Court Theatre. This unforgettable production starred Charles Brookfield as Sherlock Holmes and Seymour Hicks as Doctor Watson. In The Land Of The Living appeared in Mystery Magazine. The story follows Holmes each step of the way from the Reichenbach Fall to his meeting with the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. A Watsonian Conundrum, was written for The Watsonian Journal. Miss Annie Harrison's Rose Soliloquy. A review of Conan Doyle's The Adventure of the Naval Treaty, from a woman's perspective. Mrs Hudson's Garden, was the piece that birthed Altabef's novel, The Keys of Death.

| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: Sherlock Holmes - The Hero With a Thousand Faces: Volume 2 David MacGregor, 2022-06-22 Picking up the trail with the incredibly influential films of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, Volume II goes on to explore the antiheroic Sherlock Holmes films of the 1970s, and then the somewhat rocky journey of Holmes into the medium of television (actors Alan Wheatley, Douglas Wilmer, and Peter Cushing all declared their respective TV series as the worst experience of their professional careers). Television finally found its definitive Holmes in Jeremy Brett's portrayal for Granada Television, and then the BBC's Sherlock had flashed brilliantly across the cultural sky before crashing and burning in spectacular fashion. Still, despite its ignominious end, Benedict Cumberbatch's version of Sherlock Holmes quite literally changed the face of Sherlockian fandom overnight, as studious middle-aged white men now found themselves sharing uneasy ground with a younger, more diverse, and more female audience. Now a full-fledged transmedia phenomenon, Sherlock Holmes can be any gender, ethnicity, or species, and is celebrated in fan fiction and fanvids, as well as conventions that are far more inclusive than Sherlock Holmes societies of the past. Vincent Starrett's poetic notion that Sherlock Holmes is a character who never lived and so can never die has never been more true, and the Digital Age promises any number of new versions of Sherlock Holmes to come. |

| jeremy brett and edward hardwicke: Horror on the Stage Amnon Kabatchnik, 2023-06-20 There are numerous publications about the horror genre in film and television, but none that provide information about horror on a legitimate stage until now. This book highlights the most terrifying moments in theater history, from classical plays like Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound and Euripides' Medea to the violence of the Grand Guignol company productions in 18th-century France, and present-day productions like Stephen Sondheim's musical Sweeney Todd, Stephen King's Carrie and dark 21st-century plays by Clive Barker and Conor McPherson.
