Holmes and Watson

By Jeffrey Hatcher

Directed by Peter D. Jones

The Caltech Playreaders performance scheduled for Tuesday May 5, 2020 of "Holmes and Watson" has been postponed due to the COVID-19 situation in Los Angeles County.

Many apologies to those of you who hoped to come! And profuse thanks to all of you for all your support now and in the future. We would not exist without you.

Watson has traveled to an eerie island insane asylum where he has been asked to identify which one of the three patients there - all claiming to be Holmes - may be Sherlock. After all, no bodies were found three years ago when Holmes and his enemy Moriarty grappled at the top of Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland and presumably fell to their death. In the intervening years many imposters have stepped forward. Watson is on edge. Could one of these lunatics be the real Holmes? What follows is a masterful puzzle which will keep you guessing until it ends with the haunting, fading sound of a violin.

Holmes and Watson is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
