Remember the Holmes & Watson movie that hit the big screen last December? Neither do I. Most of us can agree that it was an experience that we’d rather forget.
This summer, let CATCO redeem our favorite sleuths with a play of the same name - Holmes & Watson. And although the play shares the same title as the movie, it follows a completely different storyline.
Written by veteran playwright and native Ohioan Jeffrey Hatcher, Holmes & Watson picks up after Sherlock’s ostensible death at the hands of his archrival – Professor Moriarty. Because his body was never retrieved, a number of frauds have since laid claim to his identity. It thus falls to his faithful sidekick, Dr. Watson, to unmask each and every one of these pretenders. One day, Dr. Watson receives a telegram informing him that three men, each claiming to be Holmes, are being held in a remote asylum off the coast of Scotland. Can Dr. Watson figure out who among this insane trio is the real Sherlock Holmes?
Witness Holmes & Watson at the Van Fleet Theatre, CPAC, every Wednesday-Sunday from May 29 to June 16 at various times!
