Gateway Theatre stages Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B, October 16 to 25

Kate Hamill’s production offers a post-pandemic take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective tale

Gateway Theatre presents the B.C. premiere of Kate Hamill’s Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B from October 16 to 25.

Crime solving has never been so delightfully absurd than in this sharp and comedic reinvention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective tale. The modern take follows the eccentric Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson as they stumble through post-pandemic life, solving crimes with chaotic brilliance. Their dysfunctional partnership comes to life as they face a cunning supervillain who just might have all the answers.

Directed by Lauren Taylor, Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B is a feminist take on the favourite detective duo, filled with goofy antics, baffling characters, and fourth-wall breaks. It is a show that is not to be missed.

This production will be presented in English with traditional and simplified Chinese surtitles. It is recommended for ages 13 and up.
