From Victorian opium dens to modern crime scenes, this lively lecture explores how Sherlock Holmes has been everyone’s favorite high-functioning sociopath longer than your great-great-grandmother has been dead. This lecture promises more plot twists than a Conan Doyle story, more conundrums than even a Watson might wish for, and more libations than a Victorian medicine cabinet.
This lecture coincides with the theatre production Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson, Apt. 2B showing from September 18–October 5, 2025.
Themed Cocktail: Elementary, My Dear
Lecturer: Dr. Steven Hayward, Professor of English & Director of Journalism Institute, Colorado College
