The playrights writing is sharp, blending traditional Holmesian intellect with modern pacing. The audience will be constantly kept on their toes, trying to piece together clues alongside Watson. Red herrings abound, and just when you think you’ve solved the mystery, the play pulls the rug out from under you with a twist that will leave you grinning in admiration.
The cast which includes, Patrick Bugby, Robert DelGrande, David Bird, Chystine Williams, Rob Millard, Michael Couchman and Garry Welsh skillfully embody the essence of Holmes’ enigmatic genius and Watson’s steadfast loyalty. The supporting cast adds humor and depth and just enough tension to keep you glued to your seats.
Holmes and Watson is not just a play; it’s a masterclass in storytelling that pays homage to Arthur Conan Doyle while carving its own unique niche.
