Crime solving has never been so delightfully absurd.

This sharp and comedic reinvention of the classic detective tale is exactly what you’re looking for this fall. Join us for this modern take, following the eccentric Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson as they stumble through post-pandemic life, solving crimes with chaotic brilliance. Watch as their dysfunctional partnership comes to life, as they face a cunning supervillain who just might have all the answers.

This play is unlike any other Sherlock Holmes play you’ve ever seen before! Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B is a feminist take on your favourite detective duo, filled with goofy antics, baffling characters, and maybe even some breaking of the fourth wall. It is a show that is not to be missed!

“MS. HOLMES & MS. WATSON – APT 2B simultaneously plays homage to and flips on its head the detective story tropes to show what happens when women are in charge.”

– Broadway World

Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B is presented through special arrangement with TRW PLAYS 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 640, New York, NY 10036. www.trwplays.com.
