Audition: "Miss Holmes"

About the project and the company

Latitude Theatre is holding auditions for “Miss Holmes”, by Christopher M. Walsh. Based on characters by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Directed by Jane Ryan.

Synopsis

Miss Sherlock Holmes, one of the greatest deductive minds of her generation, finds herself regularly incarcerated for behaviors deemed abnormal in a “respectable” lady. Dr. Dorothy Watson struggles to make a difference at the only hospital in England that will hire female doctors. When a newlywed wife comes looking for help, the pair must work together to uncover secrets surrounding a corrupt police inspector whose wives have a habit of turning up dead. This thrilling murder mystery is a cunning, gender-bent take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective.
