Ms. Holmes
& Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B
By Kate Hamill
March 6–29
Cannon Street Arts Center
Directed by Cristy Landis*
“Hamill’s adaptations of the classics are endlessly INGENIOUS”
—The Wall Street Journal
Oddball female roommates Sherlock (yes, it’s also a girl’s name—wait, is it a girl’s name? Is it even a name?) Holmes & Joan Watson join forces to emerge from pandemic fog as a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional adventure duo—solving mysteries and kicking butts, until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers. An irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick, this fast-paced romp reexamines the world’s most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens.
