Sound & Fury's "Sherlock Holmes & the Saline Solution"

REVIEWS

FIVE STARS!
"Sherlock Holmes and the Saline Solution is ridiculously entertaining and about as much fun as I have ever had at a Fringe show. Ever.
The three Los Angelenos of Sound & Fury bring such an inspired sense of playfulness and silliness to the table, it's impossible to remain immune. Their gags come steadily and rapidly; their timing is impeccable; and their instincts for how long a joke can be stretched are perfectly calibrated. Friday night's sold-out crowd laughed as often and as loud as I've heard at any show.
Sound & Fury are making their fifth appearance at the Winnipeg Fringe and promise as long as we keep laughing and clapping they'll keep coming back.
I beg you: keep them coming back."
-- Dean Jenkinson, CBC

"SHERLOCK HOLMES & THE SALINE SOLUTION
Sound & Fury
Gas Station Theatre (Venue 18), to July 26, 2008

Richard Maritzer, Shelby Bond and Vinny Cardinale had a large first-night turn-out of Sound & Fury fans in uproarious laughter before they even began their performance. In turn, the three were having a hard time stifling their smiles and giggles as everyone on both sides of the footlights at the Gas Station Theatre enjoyed themselves.

As they have done to much hilarity with the Bard's plays, the Los Angeles-based troupe lampooned Sherlock Holmes and give it a typical Sound & Fury twist. Leading man Maritzer got tricked out of playing Holmes by Bond, who dons the great fictional detective's deerstalker cap and portrays him as a dim-witted goof. "The game is afeet," enthuses Bond. Maritzer is demoted to the role of Dr. Watson, but plays his character as the much sharper sleuth.

Throughout the show, the local favourites added asides (a joke about Confusion Corner brought down the house) and generally had a ball with sexual double entendres and Sherlockian satire.
