Murder By Dessert is performing another interactive mystery, and this one sounds particularly intriguing. It's called Sherlock Holmes and the Steampunk Murder Mystery, and is described as featuring "the greatest science fiction authors of the late 1800s attempting to solve the murder of one of their own." I don't know who that would be except H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, although it would be decades before anybody called it science fiction. But the Robert Downey Holmes movies are definitely steampunk.
It's happening on Saturday June 14 at the Siren's Song Tavern, 325 Second St., Eureka, from 7-10 p.m. 672-5651, murderbydessert.com. Jeremy Brett won't be appearing as Sherlock Holmes alas, but any excuse to post his photo.
If you're getting your stage information from the NCJ Calendar (print edition) you are going to be misinformed about this weekend. (In general the Calendar, which used to be the gold standard for upcoming events, has been sliding downhill for months.)
