Five Orange Pips - A One-Act Play
The Five Orange Pips: A One-Act Play
Adapted from the Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle
A faithful one-act stage adaptation of Conan Doyle's classic tale, in which a young man seeks Sherlock Holmes's help after receiving a mysterious envelope of orange pips — the same chilling warning that preceded the deaths of his uncle and father — and Holmes races to unmask the deadly secret society behind it.
Written with table reads in mind rather than full staging, this script is easy to perform — no elaborate sets, costumes, or blocking needed. Just gather your cast and read. It's a great fit for drama clubs, school groups, Sherlock Holmes scion societies and clubs, or anyone who loves a good mystery.
Details: Runs about 10–12 minutes as a table read.
