Sherlock—
with a Modern, Feminine Twist.

Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B

By Kate Hamill

Directed by Elizabeth Elkins Newcomer

August 28 - September 14, 2025 | Marquette Theater at Loyola University

Forget everything you thought you knew about Baker Street.

In Kate Hamill’s razor-sharp, darkly comic reimagining, Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson are modern-day, female roommates navigating a post-pandemic world. Brilliant yet aloof Holmes teams up with empathetic, pragmatic Watson to form a dysfunctional Odd Couple—solving crimes while tangling with villains always one step ahead.

Fast-paced and fiercely funny, this highly theatrical escapade offers a bold feminist twist on the classic detective duo—blending physical comedy, witty dialogue, and the complexities of human connection.
