MISS HOLMES

Written by Christopher M. Walsh

Directed by Jacquelyn Harding

7 - 22 August 2026

When an anonymous note sends a newlywed wife looking for help, Miss Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Dorothy Watson work together to uncover the secrets surrounding a corrupt police inspector whose wives have a habit of turning up dead. But this Holmes and Watson face far greater challenges than bringing the cunning criminal to justice. Miss Holmes possesses one of the greatest deductive minds of her generation, but she chafes at the restraints imposed upon her by society and family. Dr. Watson struggles to make a difference at the only hospital in London that will hire female doctors. In a time and place where gender roles are rigidly defined, these unconventional women dare to challenge societal norms by providing an unusual, but necessary, service. Inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this sharp new production sheds a new light on the fan-favorite characters, re-examining the Victorian world of Holmes and Watson by exploring the added obstacles faced by these two iconic characters if they were women.

When Beach Haven Rest Home faces closure at the hands of a large-scale developer and a dodgy councillor, the residents resolve to raise the money required to stay put. With the blessing of Sarah, the rest home manager and the help of some younger allies, Ivy, Rose, Pauline and Angela adopt alter egos to attract paying chat line clients. Some residents embrace their new vocation effortlessly, while others find their stride more slowly - and hilariously. This play features many characters you'll swear you've met before, endless laugh-out-loud moments and heartwarming interactions that will have you reaching for the tissues. One thing's for certain; the residents' plans pay off in the most satisfying of ways.

A decade after graduation and on the eve of his big premiere, an aspiring filmmaker reconnects with his best friend from high school. Fueled by drugs, alcohol, and nostalgia, the two reminisce about the girl they both dated and how it all went wrong, until eventually a long buried truth is finally brought to light. The night is further complicated by the sudden arrival of their mutual ex, who proves to be another formidable player in a series of dangerous mind games. Beneath this play’s suspenseful, high-stakes surface, Tape examines questions of motive, memory, truth and perception.
