ABOUT THE PLAY
When an anonymous note draws a newlywed wife into danger, Miss Sherlock Holmes and Dr Dorothy Watson find themselves at the centre of a murder mystery that cuts to the heart of power, corruption, and survival in Victorian London.
These are two of the most compelling female leads in contemporary theatre. Miss Holmes is razor-sharp and relentless, a genius navigating a world determined to keep her quiet. Dr Watson is equally formidable: principled, driven, and fighting for legitimacy in a profession that barely acknowledges her. The dynamic between them is rich, complex, and full of fire.
Inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this is a play that rewards bold, intelligent performance across its entire ensemble. If you want to sink your teeth into layered, purposeful characters and tell a story that genuinely matters, this is your production.
