Theatre slaps trigger warning on Sherlock as it 'contains crime' 

A theatre has put trigger warnings on more than 20 of its upcoming shows - including a performance about Sherlock Holmes.

The Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire have warned audiences that Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty contains scenes about crime which may distress.

They added that the production also includes 'discussions of war and crime, possible death, and murder.'

And it's on the only performance to be slapped with the same woke warnings.

In its 2025/26 season, a total of 22 plays were slapped with a warning including The Shawshank Redemption, Friends! The Musical parody and even three separate operas.
