Directed by Atlanta stage and screen celebrity Suehyla E. Young (formerly Suehyla El-Attar), Kate Hamill's new play 'cheerfully desecrates the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.' In addition to Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories, the script also draws from the variety of Sherlock Holmes adaptations throughout the years, including Benedict Cumberbatch's 'Sherlock.'
You'll find the world's most ingenious detective in the oddest of places. And one of them is on Dr. Joan Watson's last nerve. The game is most definitely afoot in Kate Hamill's gender-bending, irreverent, and affectionate take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved mystery classics. This time, in a highly-theatrical adventure comedy, Sherlock Holmes and Watson are at it again solving mysteries full of murder and mayhem, and the challenges of sharing a bathroom sink.
You might just say... it's to die for.
