Excerpted from the NYTimes of Tues, 8 October:

>Dublin - A new play by Hugh Leonard, "The Mask of Moriarty", a spoof on
>Sherlock Holmes, has opened at the Dublin Theater Festival to generally
>favorable reviews.
>
>The play opened last weeek at the Dublin Gate Theater and stars Tom Baker,
>who played Doctor Who in the British television series, as Holmes.  In the
>play, Holmes is again at the center of a murder mystery, but is also the
>target of the playwright's irreverence.  So is Holmes's loyal friend and
>chronicler, Dr. Watson, who appears in drag in two scenes.
> 
>The Irish Times considered the opening scenes the funniest that Mr. Leonard
>has written, but noted a falling off in the second act.  "No doubt something
>can and will be done to bring comic life back to that long sag", it said.
>"If so, Mr. Leonard will have a crazily comic and carefully written
>international hit on his hands."
>
>In the 26 years of the Dublin Theater Festival, Mr. Leonard has contributed
>18 plays, including his early adaptation from the writing of James Joyce,
>"Stephen D", and "Da", which went on to become a Tony Award-winning Broadway
>hit.
