The Dolphin Theatre presents Miss Holmes

When an anonymous note sends a newlywed wife in search of help, Miss Sherlock Holmes and Dr Dorothy Watson join forces to uncover the truth behind a corrupt police inspector whose wives have a habit of turning up dead.

But this Holmes and Watson face challenges beyond bringing a cunning criminal to justice. Miss Holmes possesses one of the greatest deductive minds of her generation, yet constantly struggles against the restrictions imposed by society and family. Dr Watson is equally determined, working to make a difference in a world where opportunities for women in medicine are sharply limited.

Inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Miss Holmes reimagines two iconic characters through a fresh theatrical lens, exploring mystery, intellect, partnership, and the added obstacles these women would face in Victorian London.
