    Katie Forgette writes smart, clever, theatrical plays with such apparent ease it's awe-inspiring. This Sherlock Holmes is a case in point; it feels and sounds like it came from the master's pen -- but with an originality all its own. A delightful puzzle of a play, with deliciously chewy roles for actors with chops.
