Audio Drama: ‘A Scandal in Bohemia’ presented by the Literary Adventure Society

The Capitol Hill-based theatre troupe, We Happy Few, found a creative way to connect with audiences during the pandemic by creating audio versions of classic mysteries and Gothic horror tales and mailing corresponding props to subscribers. This concept has now evolved into the Literary Adventure Society, which produces audio dramas with tactile experiences for audiences. One of their recent productions includes a gripping adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes mystery “A Scandal in Bohemia,” featuring superb performances by Jon Reynolds as Holmes, Dylan Fleming as Watson, and Raven Bonniwell as Miss Adler. The production stays loyal to the original dialogue while taking some welcome risks to enhance the storytelling experience. The character interactions and plot twists add a new dimension to the classic tale, making it engaging for both new listeners and longtime Sherlock Holmes fans. Along with the audio drama, subscribers receive a package of clues and items to immerse themselves in the story, creating a unique and interactive experience. The production is praised for its attention to detail, including a faux periodical from the Victorian era to enhance the storytelling. For $55, audiences can enjoy this immersive audio experience and dive into the world of Sherlock Holmes. Contact the Literary Adventure Society for more information on their upcoming productions.
