a world premiere by Matthew Ivan Bennett, adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
October 27, 2023 @ 11am & 7pm
in the Jeanne Wagner Theatre
(Both performances feature ASL Interpretation and post-show discussions)
What if Dr. Watson was a woman and Sherlock Holmes wasn't always right?
On the run from Moriarty (Jay Perry), the keenest criminal mind they've ever faced, Holmes (Doug Fabrizio, Host of KUER's RadioWest returning to the role he first played in EPISODE 7), is unsure of his powers, and Watson (Isabella Reeder) is unsure of him.
You are the live studio audience (both performances are live broadcasts on KUER's RadioWest!) as we perform RADIO HOUR in front of an audience for the first time in a decade.

“You must stand clear, Mr. Holmes, or be smashed.”
– Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s "The Final Problem"
“I want people to experience the softer side of Sherlock Holmes.
I’m trying open up the cozy-mystery world into something much more personal.”
– Playwright Matthew Ivan Bennett
The first female doctor in London, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, obtained her medical license in 1865,
twenty-six years before Sir Arthur Conan Doyle penned "The Final Problem."
