Sherlock Holmes is not at home this evening. Neither is his friend and colleague Dr. Watson.Mr Holmes is rarely home unless knee-deep in a case (and unavailable anyway) or otherwise desperately waiting for a good one to come along. But on this particular evening, whatever the 'case', he is elsewhere.Four ladies, all with strong ties to the Great Detective, one after another, are drawn towards and into 221b Baker Street in the hope of finding him at home.

"History has been cruel to females. It often does not acknowledge when we have either accomplished something or have had great wrongs done to us. These are stories which, in my humble opinion, are also valid and are in danger of being forgotten."Three stories of women, not who have held swords aloft, but who have been dealt a certain hand and had to survive because of it. From the ostracised wise woman c. 700 A.D., to Oscar Wilde's long-suffering wife, to the Pendle Witch child whose family were hanged as witches. These are the first three one-woman shows by Lexi Wolfe, transcribed here as stories in the first person narrative.
