Madame Reinhart is facing a dilemma which, if it comes to fruition, will have dire consequences for her hospital and quite possibly for England itself. Come and see how the master detective and his stalwart companion face many challenges as they try to identify what is lurking within Room # 92, as well as within the heart of the criminal.
A cash bar will be available. Registration begins at 7pm; seating begins at 8pm.
