Dramatic Repertory Company presents
the New England Premiere of
THE (curious case of the)
WATSON INTELLIGENCE
by Madeleine George
directed by Keith Powell Beyland
with James Noel Hoban*, Christopher Holt and Janice O'Rourke
Assistants...we all need them, and we crave the company of those people and machines who can help us. George's Pulitzer Prize-Finalist comedy follows just a few of those indispensable souls embodied by a single name: Watson.
Watson: trusty sidekick to Sherlock Holmes; loyal engineer who built Bell's first telephone; unstoppable super-computer that became reigning "Jeopardy!" champ; amiable techno-dweeb who, in the present day, is just looking for love. These four constant companions become one in this brilliantly phantasmagorical, witty, time-jumping, loving tribute (and cautionary tale) dedicated to the people - and machines - upon which we all depend.
DRC proudly presents this New England Premiere production - with an incredible design team and an all alumni cast! Christopher Holt (Equivocation, Swimming in the Shallows) takes on "Watson," with Janice O'Rourke (CONTRACTions, Swimming in the Shallows) as "Eliza," and James Noel Hoban (Gross Indecency) as "Merrick."
There are only 8(!) chances to catch this live theatrical magic. Don't miss out. Get your favorite assistant to reserve you a pair on the aisle...
"Marvelous and filled with marvels. In the Stoppardian world of 'The Watson Intelligence,' Madeleine George's human, dramatic play takes surprising turns."
New York Magazine
"A time-tripping fantasy finds tender humor in geniuses and their helpers. [Madeleine George] juggles several deep themes with grace, wit and intellectual verve."
