An irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick, this fast-paced romp reexamines the world’s most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens. In this highly theatrical, small-cast escapade, oddball female roommates Sherlock (yes, it’s also a girl’s name—wait, is it a girl’s name? Is it even a name?) Holmes & Joan Watson join forces to emerge from pandemic fog as a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional Odd Couple adventure duo—solving mysteries and kicking butts, until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers.

*What is a Relaxed Performance?
A relaxed performance is a welcoming, inclusive theatre experience designed especially for those who benefit from a more flexible, sensory-friendly environment. These performances make small adjustments like softer lighting or sound, a more casual atmosphere, and freedom to move or make noise. In this way, everyone, including those with neurodiverse needs or sensory sensitivities, can enjoy the show comfortably. Whether you're attending with family, friends, or on your own, relaxed performances are all about removing barriers and making space for everyone to experience the joy of live theatre judgment-free and stress-free.
