蜜聊直播

She鈥檚 done it with a trio of Jane Austen masterpieces, adding nuance to the sisterhood of 鈥淪ense and Sensibility,鈥� some additional comedy to the one-line zingers of 鈥淧ride and Prejudice,鈥� and ramping up the eccentricities of 鈥淓mma,鈥� which she set against the backdrop of contemporary themes.

In 2022 she aimed her imagination at Arthur Conan Doyle鈥檚 鈥淪herlock Holmes.鈥�

Hamill reimagines the crusty detective and his sidekick Dr. Watson as women in 鈥淢s. Holmes & Ms. Watson 鈥� Apt. 2B,鈥� which 蜜聊直播 Theatre Company is bringing to the Temple of Music and Art stage from Sunday, May 18 to June 7. The show, closes out ATC鈥檚 season.

Here are a few things to know before you go:

The story

Joan Watson is an American divorcee making her way across Europe when she finds herself renting a room from Ms. Holmes, a police consultant whose profession and propensity to solve mysteries has her a little frazzled.

The unlikely gal-pals team up to solve a number of violent crimes committed by notorious villains.

Playwright Hamill borrows a bit of Doyle鈥檚 wit, casting the female Holmes and Watson with some of the same slapstick foibles as the original male characters.

The cast

• plays the police consultant Sherlock Holmes 鈥� yes, Sherlock; why can鈥檛 it also be a woman鈥檚 name? 鈥� who finds herself solving more crimes than she is consulting police. Coleman has had roles in a number of TV shows including 鈥淭he Office,鈥� 鈥淏ig Little Lies鈥� and 鈥淗ow to Get Away with Murder.鈥�
• , a veteran of regional theater nationwide including La Mirada, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ensemble Theatre and Theatre Aspen, plays Ms. Joan Watson, an American traveling across Europe who rents a room from Ms. Holmes and unwittingly becomes her crime-solving sidekick.
