'School Variations' cast announced

Seven Shells Media is thrilled to announce the cast for our upcoming audio production 'School Variations'.

Gavin Owen and Andrew Griscti will star as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. This is the first spoken word production for Owen and Griscti, who have appeared together on stage multiple times over the years. This is the second private detective character for Owen, having appeared as Robert Gould in the 2008 Seven Shells Media short film, Damaged Goods.

Jemima Stratton, who played beleaguered PA Kelly Meadows in 2009's Have A Cigar, will play Mary Morstan, while Dorian Newstead (Truth Alone Wounds) will take on the role of Professor James Moriarty. Linda Newstead will appear as the Postmistress.

The show was written by Jeremy Dylan, inspired by the immortal characters of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and will be released late this year.

Announcing start of production on 'School Variations'

Today, we are pleased to announce to announce start of production on Seven Shells Media's first audio drama - 'School Variations' by writer/director Jeremy Dylan.

The play follows the exploits of Australian-born Cambridge undergraduates Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, who moonlight as consulting detectives to pay their way through university. But when they go up against Professor James Moriarty, they may have hit upon their toughest case yet.

'Conan Doyle's characters have proved remarkably resilient to adaptation over the years,' says writer-director Jeremy Dylan. 'We've had Sherlock the teenager, Sherlock fights the Nazis, Sherlock in retirement, fat Sherlock, bald Sherlock - the list is endless. I feel we've captured the essence of Doyle's characters, while transplanting them to a contemporary setting'.

School Variations will be recorded in May for a release later this year.
