By Kate Hamill
Directed by James Vásquez
July 27 - September 1, 2024 at The Old Globe
A fast-paced and wildly entertaining new play that reimagines the most iconic detective team of all time. In present-day Baker Street, steampunk hipster Shirley Holmes and her spunky new roommate Joan Watson become entangled in a series of cases all related to the same supervillain, who always seems to be one step ahead of them. This irreverent take on the beloved characters packs nonstop laughs into a rollicking murder mystery with a bold and modern lens.
