Sir Arthur Conan Doyle probably never imagined that his brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes would continue to be solving mysteries more than a century after his creation. But he’s downright hot these days: a series featuring Benedict Cumberbatch on PBS, movies starring Robert Downey Jr., as well as Elementary on network TV. For several weeks he’ll be unthreading a new conundrum (cleverly based on a story by Robert Louis Stevenson about guys playing Russian roulette) at the Cincinnati Playhouse with some amazing special effects. Whodunit? Show up and find out.
Through Oct. 4. $30-$80. Cincinnati Playhouse, Mount Adams, 513-421-3888, cincyplay.com.
