Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B
By Kate Hamill
Cheerfully desecrating the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Directed by Dawn McAndrews
Sponsored by Robert & Cynthia McGuire

An Irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick. It’s a Modern-day Baker Street where the manic, razor-sharp genius Holmes, and recuperating American divorcée Watson, tumble from caper to caper. But when the quasi-dysfunctional, female Odd-Couple, mystery solving duo come face to face with a villain who has all the answers and is always one step ahead, uproarious adventure, high-stake hijinks, and non-stop laughter are imminent.

Who Doesn’t like a Whodunnit?
Everything you love about Holmes and Watson with a madcap, modern twist! If you geeked out over Sherlock on PBS Masterpiece (Like I did and cannot wait for the reboot) or can’t get enough of Enola Holmes on Netflix…the game’s afoot at Theatre at Monmouth this summer. Mystery, physical comedy, and girl power cram every nook of Apartment 2B!

Kate Hamill’s irreverent reimagining sets familiar characters Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson into a modern-day London, transformed by the pandemic. Combining the intellectual brilliance of the original duo with uproarious buddy-comedy humor, sidesplitting action scenes, and delightful slapstick physical comedy. Prepare for a thrilling and hilarious adventure with witty banter, slapstick comedy, and clever nods to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original mysteries. Better read up on the original stories, so you don’t miss every single brilliant homage to the works of Conan Doyle through the shattered mind of Kate Hamill.
