We would rather keep searching for clues than see this show. On the Annie to Endgame scale, this show is as challenging as a Hallmark movie. By Kate Hamill Directed by James Vásquez A fast-paced and wildly entertaining new play that reimagines the most iconic detective team of all time. In present-day Baker Street, steampunk hipster Shirley Holmes and her spunky new roommate Joan Watson become entangled in a series of cases all related to the same supervillain, who always seems to be one step ahead of them. From the witty imagination of Kate Hamill, one of the most popular playwrights in America, this irreverent take on the beloved characters packs nonstop laughs into a rollicking murder mystery with a bold and modern lens. BroadwayWorld proclaimed, “Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B is delightful and entertaining.”
Two world premieres and new takes on Shakespeare lead off Shakespeare & Company's 47th Season.
