YES! New stage still-and it’s a big file! The top photo discovery from the stage stills of “The Secret of Sherlock Holmes” at the Wyndham Theatre, is the largest and most high definition photo scan I’ve found on the Internet yet, with the exception of the more well-known second color still below.

These stage stills keep popping out of unknown corners of the Internet, usually out of forums.  It’s gotten to the point where I’ve found the majority of the entire Pritchard Archive floating about in the dark corners of cyberspace, in Japanese photography collections, in inactive JB fan forum threads and on archived fansites that went inactive more than 10 years ago.

I do believe my newly discovered top photo is the retrospective in “Secret” where Holmes drops his disguise in Watson’s practice in “The Empty House”, leading up to asking Watson’s forgiveness for disappearing for three years after Reichenbach.  It brought me to tears just listening to it after doing the restoration on the sound file, which I posted on my SoundCloud.

The Secret of Sherlock Holmes by Jeremy Paul (and Jeremy Brett)

It’s sad, that it wasn’t filmed and that all that’s left from the play with Brett and Hardwicke are some photos and an audio recording.

The way Jeremy Brett screams “sane” in the recording always gets me… Makes me think that this play was as much about the relationship of Brett and Hardwicke themselves as it was about Holmes and Watson.
