Seanchai Library's presentation of A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA last June |
UW
Avalumni, Second Life - Seanchai Library
will commence Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Sign of Four on
Sunday, November 6th at 1:30pm. The entire novel will be presented, with
minimal adaptation, in one hour episodes through November 27th at Seanchai's Baker Street build,
which has been in guest residency at the University
of Washington iSchool in Second Life since June.
The story
is set in 1888. The Sign of the Four has a complex plot involving
India ,
the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a stolen treasure, and a secret pact among four
convicts ("the Four" of the title) and two corrupt prison guards. It
presents the detective's drug habit and humanizes him in a way that had not
been done in the preceding novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). It
also introduces Doctor Watson's future wife, Mary Morstan. Kayden Oconnell,
John Morland, and Caledonia Skytower will present the story, voicing the
characters and providing narration, live in voice.
