From one of America’s most-produced playwrights comes a whip-smart, darkly comic collision of classic mystery and modern mayhem.
Kate Hamill reimagines Holmes and Watson as a fiercely funny, gloriously dysfunctional duo navigating post-pandemic London with sharp wits and banter.
Packed with hijinks, high-stakes sleuthing and a bold feminist twist, this play dives headfirst into the chaos of contemporary Baker Street.
For Holmes devotees, comedy lovers and anyone who enjoys a clever caper with bite. This is Sherlock… just not as you know her.
