Ms Holmes and Ms Watson – Apt 2B review: mysterious case of the joke-cracking Sherlock
NegativeEntertainment
- A review of the play 'Ms Holmes and Ms Watson – Apt 2B' at the Arcola Theatre in London highlights its attempt to rework Arthur Conan Doyle's detective stories with a gender-swapped twist. The narrative follows Joan Watson, played by Simona Brown, who partners with Sherlock Holmes, portrayed by Lucy Farrett, in solving cases in a post-pandemic setting. Despite some promising elements, the production struggles with its comedic execution and overall purpose.
- This development reflects the ongoing challenges in adapting classic literature for modern audiences, particularly in balancing humor and narrative depth. The mixed reception may impact future productions at the Arcola Theatre and influence how adaptations of well-known works are approached in the entertainment industry.
