Who could possibly help them out of this predicament that could turn into a major scandal for the British royal family?

They must turn to none other than Sherlock Holmes who, in the person of Haysam Kadri, will try to solve The Case of the Jersey Lily at Vertigo Theatre from May 19 through June 12.

It was two years ago that Kadri teamed up with his crime-solving buddy Karl Sine, in the person of Dr. Watson, to solve the mystery of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

“The Hound of the Baskervilles was a hugely popular show,” says Kadri. “Vertigo had to extend the run of the play to accommodate demand for tickets.”
