The Texas Radio Theatre presents an audio adaptation of one of Sherlock Homles' most notorious cases, featuring literature's first super villain - Professor James Moriarty. How great must Holmes sacrifice be to rid the world of such a complete and diabolical menace?

The Texas Radio Theatre Company performs and records a time-honored form of entertainment known as audio (or radio) theatre reminiscent of radio's golden age. Though linked to the past, modern audio theatre takes the story to a place that television and film struggle to reach, featuring an unrivaled realism found only in your imagination.
