All roles are gender flexible. This production will use extensive doubling, and actors may potentially play multiple roles and genders.
Character | Gender | Age | Short description:
Sherlock Holmes - Male, 30-50 - The brilliant consulting detective, now bitter, isolated and bored with crime-solving.
Dr. John Watson - Male, 30-50 - Holmes’s physician friend, former flatmate and chronicler.
Mrs. Hudson - Female, 40-65 - Holmes’s long-suffering Baker Street landlady. Practical, intelligent and genuinely affectionate toward both Holmes and Watson.
Becky - Female, 20s - A spirited young actress from Cornwall and Holmes’s youthful love.
Professor James Moriarty - Male, 40-50 - Holmes’s dead arch-enemy, the criminal mastermind known as the “Napoleon of Crime.”
Young Holmes - Male, 20s - Holmes as seen in memories of his childhood and youth. Precocious, emotionally guarded and already developing the observational brilliance that will define him.
Inspector Lestrade - Male, 40-60 - Scotland Yard detective. Earnest, conventional and considerably less perceptive than Holmes, though not malicious. His limitations help show how badly London still needs Holmes.
First Spirit / Ghost of Christmas Past - Female, 35-60 - A compassionate supernatural guide dressed like a Crimean War nurse. She takes Holmes into his childhood and youth and presses him to confront grief, loneliness and lost love.
Violet Holmes - Female, 30-45 - Sherlock’s mother, heard in childhood memory.
William Holmes - Male, 40-55 - Sherlock’s father.
Mycroft Holmes - Male, 20s - Sherlock’s brilliant older brother, seen as an Oxford student. Witty, indolent and already tending toward the famously sedentary Mycroft of later life.
Second Spirit / Ghost of Christmas Present - Male, 35-45 - A flamboyant, bohemian spirit who looks strikingly like Oscar Wilde, complete with green suit and absinthe. Witty and irreverent.
Garrison - Male, 25-35 - A young Scotland Yard officer with considerably better instincts than Lestrade. He idolizes Holmes and is trying to prevent an innocent man from being convicted.
Uncle Tim - Male, 55-70 - Genial, humane and Christmas-loving, he listens as Watson admits how much Holmes really means to him.
Eli - Male, 10-16 - One of Holmes’s Baker Street Irregulars. A street boy desperate for Holmes’s help after Wiggins is arrested. Young, vulnerable and loyal.
Topper - Male, 20-30 - An older or more authoritative Baker Street Irregular trying to hold the gang together in Wiggins’s absence.
Third Spirit / Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come - Gender-flexible, ageless - The dark, largely silent final spirit. A shadowy, funeral-like presence who shows Holmes the terrible consequences of continuing his present course.
Man of the City #1 - Male, 40-65 - A prosperous, callous London gentleman seen in Holmes’s possible future.
Man of the City #2 - Male, 40-65 - Another comfortable City gentleman. Equally shallow and indifferent.
Wiggins - Male, 30-40 - Former leader of the Baker Street Irregulars.
Toff - Male, 20-35 - A fashionable upper-class young man.
Toff’s Girl - Female, 20-35 - The Toff’s female companion, caught with him during Wiggins’s robbery.
Albert - Male, 18-30 - A British enlisted soldier during the Christmas Truce of 1914. Thoughtful and increasingly troubled by the morality of the war.
Old Garrison - Male, 45-55 - Garrison twenty years later, now a British Army major on the Western Front. Still remembers Holmes and retains the moral seriousness he displayed as a young detective.
German Soldier - Male, 18-30 - A young German soldier who crosses No Man’s Land during the 1914 Christmas Truce carrying sausages as gifts.
Head Nurse - Female, 40-60 - Head of a Women’s Hospital Unit in Holmes’s possible 1914 future.
General - Male, 45-65 - A senior British officer in the future. Cheerful, complacent and eager to exploit the Professor’s increasingly horrific inventions.
Russell - Female, 20-30 - A young female intelligence secretary. Efficient and somewhat more human than her superiors.
The Professor - Male, 60 - A man who has abandoned his moral purpose and turned his efforts toward creating weapons of mass killing.
