Holmdel Theatre Company is proud to present Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B, a fast-paced and fiercely funny reimagining of the world’s most iconic detective duo. The production will run weekends from Saturday, November 8 to Sunday, November 23 and is directed by Tina Barone and produced by Laurie Devino.
Barone is excited to bring this modern spin on Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved stories to Monmouth County audiences. “This play is the perfect mix of mystery, wit and absolute comedic chaos. Audiences are in for a fast-paced ride full of surprises, snark, and heartfelt hilarity.”
Written by award-winning playwright Kate Hamill (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, The Odyssey), Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B flips the script on the classic Sherlock Holmes tales. In this contemporary comedic spin, Ms. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Joan Watson must outwit eccentric clients, unhinged criminals, and each other — all while trying (and often failing) to keep their shaky partnership from completely unraveling.
From absurd disguises to razor-sharp banter, Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B offers a wildly entertaining take on friendship, identity, and what it means to work together when everything (and everyone) seems to be falling apart.
The Holmdel Theatre Company production features Amy Chrzanowski (Ms. Joan Watson), Jesse Luciani (Inspector Lestrade & others), Quinn Hope Michaels (Irene Adler), Jessica Randell (Ms. Sherlock Holmes), and Jennifer Lauren Wilson (Mrs. Hudson & others). Tickets for this production are available now at https://www.holmdeltheatrecompany.org/.
