Synopsis

Birmingham solicitor George Edalji has been found guilty of maiming six horses and sentenced to seven years imprisonment. Desperate to prove his innocence, he recruits the help of crime writer Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, to help solve his case and win him a pardon. This powerful new stage adaptation vividly brings to life the events which made sensational headlines as The Great Wyrley Outrages in 1903. As gripping as any Sherlock Holmes mystery, Arthur & George also raises many questions about guilt and innocence, identity, nationality and race.
