Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson, Apt. 2B

The Two of Us Productions presents Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson, Apt 2B, an irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick. This fast-paced romp re-examines the world’s most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens. In this theatrical escapade, oddball female roommates Sherlock (yes, it’s also a girl’s name) Holmes & Joan Watson join forces to emerge from pandemic fog as a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional Odd Couple — solving mysteries and kicking butts, until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers. Tickets: $20 adults, $15 youth (18 & under) & seniors (60 & over), at the door, or call 518-329-6293 or online at www.thetwoofusproductions.org
