The Fair Maid
of the West		 Burning Chrome In The Flesh

SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S
THE SIGN OF THE FOUR

Adaptation - Dr. Shanghai Low
Director - Steve Pickering
Publisher - Dramatic Publishing

"Hail Victoria! (A) sharp, sophisticated, highly intelligent world premiere stage adaptation. It's a very tasty curry indeed."
- Hedy Weiss (Chicago Sun-Times) Full Review

"...an especially interesting dramatization. The quality of the writing is no surprise. A decade or so ago, Pickering and Charley Sherman created a dazzling series of original adaptations of horror novels - mainly penned by Clive Barker - at the old Organic Theatre space on Clark St. From 'In the Flesh' to 'Son of Celluloid,' Pickering and Sherman's creepy evocations of Barker's subterranean mind attracted huge and enthusiastic audiences, filled with lovers of pulp fiction."
- Chris Jones (Chicago Tribune) Full Review

"Talk about artistic daring! In an age when most plays strive to be more like movies, Shanghai Low Theatricals offer playgoers a return to the cogitative pleasures of the literary whodunit...once 'the game is afoot,' we can't turn the pages fast enough. The Sign Of The Four is escapist fare at its coziest. Why not curl up with a good play this evening?"
- Mary Shen Barnidge (Windy City Times) Full Review
