Description

Forget everything you thought you knew about Baker Street. In this razor-sharp, darkly comic re-imagining, playwright Kate Hamill transforms Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective duo into a pair of modern-day, female roommates navigating a post-pandemic world. Sherlock Holmes—brilliant, eccentric, and emotionally aloof—teams up with the pragmatic and empathetic Joan Watson. Together, they form a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional Odd Couple, solving crimes and confronting villains who always seem one step ahead.

This fast-paced, highly theatrical escapade offers a bold feminist lens on the classic detective story, blending physical comedy, witty dialogue, and contemporary themes. As Holmes and Watson unravel mysteries, they also explore issues of gender dynamics, the digital age, and the complexities of human connection. It's a thrilling ride that challenges conventions and celebrates the power of reinvention.
