Reviews

“Meeting up with Mary Roland as Sherlock Holmes and Laurel Ullman as Dr. Watson on a local stage is a treat not to be missed. ” – Triangle Arts & Entertainment

“Guest director Jeremy Skidmore has mapped out the intricate paths that the three actors playing multiple parts must take to make their frenetic exits and lightning-quick re-entrances as different characters with different costumes, wigs, and accessories.” – CVNC

“Smart ‘Sherlock’ Debunks Preconceived Notions” – RDU On Stage

“Costume designer Jenny Mitchell and a quartet of dressers (Danielle Welch, Heather Carithers, Katie Huffman, and Sarah Spagnoli) are actually brought out for bows for their split-second changes. It makes for a breathless, funny, and improbably cinematic romp through a venerable melodrama.” – INDY Week
