A Calgary theatre company is opening a new production with a twist this weekend.

Vertigo Theatre’s production of Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson begins May 11.

“I hope people come and have a great laugh, enjoy the story, and feel the heart of these two characters who find a deep friendship by the end of it,” actor Tahirih Vejdani, who plays 'Joan Watson' said.

Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson is a twist on the traditional mysterious adventure, told in a post-pandemic world.

“Ms. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Joan Watson join forces to catch a murderer that is one the loose, though there seems to be a bigger game afoot,” Vertigo Theatre’s website states.

The cast consists of four actors, including Julie Orton as Sherlock Holmes.

“It's a different dynamic between the two. You still have the tenets of the friendship and the camaraderie that is in Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, but there's a different gait to it now, a different stride between the two women,” Orton said.

The production is written by Kate Hamill and directed by Kathryn Smith.

Tickets are available May 11 to June 9.
