Irene Adler battles her infamous reputation as "The Woman who outsmarted Sherlock Holmes" and reclaims her story. It's the story of a "nobody" becoming a "somebody" who realizes she was never a "nobody" to begin with. Irene leads us through her rise from poverty to fame as an opera singer, her ill-fated love affair with a prince, and her quest for revenge that puts her in the crosshairs of the legendary Sherlock Holmes. Through the twists and turns of this story, Irene learns to love herself and proves that she is much more than just a side character in someone else’s story. The play explores the themes of disguise, class, gender, the personas we are forced to craft to get ahead, and finding your own self-worth.
