Thrilled to return to Edinburgh where he won a Fringe First for co-devising and acting in the play “100” with the company The Imaginary Body over a decade ago, multiple award-winning writer, actor, director Matt Boatright-Simon, through his production company Picture + Sound, debuted “Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter (Half) Brother in the Case of a Study in Blood” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer, a hilarious, sharp-witted tribute to Sir Conan Doyle’s legacy with a contemporary urban twist.
