Miss Holmes at Sunset Playhouse

One of these days, I'll start actually reading the synopsis of a show I don't know BEFORE I go. But this wasn't the time I did. So I caught the HOLMES reference in the title. But I was assuming that it was going to be about a female relative of Sherlock Holmes. Well, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it's actually a female crime-solving heroine.

I really loved that not only was there the 'who done it' plot line but also included a lot of women's rights type history and empowerment too.

I felt like it started a little slow, and for a minute, I wasn't sure how all the pieces were connected at all. But once it got going, I was fully invested and felt like the show moved quickly and kept me very engaged. Which is saying a lot because I believe this is one of the longest run times I've seen.

When an anonymous note sends a newlywed wife looking for help, Miss Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Dorothy Watson work together to uncover the secrets surrounding a corrupt police inspector whose wives have a habit of turning up dead.

Miss Holmes possesses one of the greatest deductive minds of her generation. Dr. Watson struggles to make a difference at the only hospital in London that will hire female doctors.

This clever reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic characters pits its heroines not only against cunning criminal masterminds, but also against the rigid and restrictive rules of Victorian society.
