Sherlock Holmes Plays

Our newest (and most mysterious?) list was curated by playwright Jessie Salsbury, who offers this introduction: "Sherlock Holmes is one of the most well-known literary figures. The Guinness World Records lists him as the most frequently portrayed character in dramatic history. These imaginative plays add to that extensive canon. Some of these scripts have been widely produced, but most are new and deserve to be read and produced."

Erin Osgood recommended Stuck by DC Cathro
“ Wonderfully written interaction between a couple who are dealing with the possibility of loss. This piece highlights that no two people react the same to an obstacle. DC Cathro's STUCK will definitely stick in your head for a while after the last word is read. ”

Debbie Lamedman recommended DIVORCE PARTY by Rita Anderson
“ What a fun piece! I think the actors involved will have a blast doing this. Mayhem and mystery on a train! Doesn't get better than that! It's a great set-up for Mariah and Juanita to try and save their marriage, with lots of twists and secrets revealed along the way! Great fun!

Andrew Martineau recommended Emily's Room by Jennifer O'Grady
“ This is an excellent play about a poet’s need to find an appreciative audience for her work despite living in a time when women are denied access to creative opportunities and the respect that should come with it. Jennifer O’Grady dramatizes this marginalization of women through Dickinson’s maid, who is marginalized due to her gender as well as her class status, to have the perceptive skills to know the Dickinson wanted her work to be read and understood. A wonderful play about creative expression and the struggles in releasing one’s art for the world to see. ”
