“Holmes & Watson” by Jeffrey Hatcher, produced by Arizona Theatre Company
Billed as a “thrilling new Sherlock Holmes mystery”, it was more a “tongue in cheek mystery” based on Sherlock Holmes characters. The plot is complex, as you need in a mystery, the acting was fine, the conclusion tied up all the loose ends. It just didn’t light my fire. Thankfully it was one long act. Sherlock Holmes mysteries are a genre—you know what to expect. There were several clever character reversals, and I appreciated the twists. I would call this standard matinee fare, and we attended the matinee.
