"Great production!" Audience member

"Visually, the production makes excellent use of The Barn Theatre’s intimate setting. Mikiko Uesugi’s set design supports the fast-moving action beautifully, while Valera Coble’s costumes help establish the production’s playful contemporary tone. Lighting by Frank Sarubbi and sound design by Billie Cox add polish and atmosphere throughout the evening." Joe Cillo, for all Events

Ross Valley Players on the grounds of the Marin Art & Garden Center is offering comps to theater lovers and their friends and family to next Thursday, Friday and Saturday (June 11, 12, 13) performances of the postmodern farce “Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson - Apt. 2B” by Kate Hamill and directed by Mary Ann Rodgers.

"Imagine a mashup of Holmes lore reset in contemporary times, with the roles of Holmes and assistant Dr. Watson played by women as women. Further imagine incredibly loquacious dialogue and complex character interactions as conceived by a hyperactive, hyperintelligent child, and you’ll have only a hint of what this production is all about." Barry Willis, Marin Independent Journal.

Curtain is at 7:30 PM and the show runs 2 hours and 15 minutes including intermission. Anyone can e-mail [email protected] with a request for comps. Thanks!

"Such a fun show!" Audience member

"Sherlock Holmes is no elegant Victorian detective here. She’s impulsive, obsessive, socially volatile, and often emotionally unraveling — a woman whose staggering intelligence is matched only by her inability to connect with people in ordinary ways.' Joe Cillo, for all Events

"Watson arrives carrying wounds of her own. Recently separated and searching for stability, she becomes Holmes’ reluctant roommate and eventual emotional anchor.

"The plot twists through deception, emotional revelations, detective-story misdirection, and rapid tonal shifts. Hamill intentionally keeps audiences slightly off-balance, blending screwball comedy with darker themes involving trust, abandonment, obsession, and human connection." Joe Cillo, for all Events

"We enjoyed our evening and were quite amazed and impressed with all the roles you played ... including different accents. The staging was very creative. We were surprised that the play was so physical and all of the many moving parts. All in all ... I just wanted to compliment you and the other actors, the director, the costume and set designers on a job WELL DONE!!!" Audience member

'A slamming-door farce where the doors are all conceptual, 'Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson, Apt. 2B' is an apt evening’s entertainment for fans of goofy comedy. It should also appeal to Holmes purists who aren’t offended by spoofs of their hero." Barry Willis, Marin Independent Journal
