​

Moriarty: A New Sherlock Holmes Adventure (by Ken Ludwig), the cast is intentionally small and actors often double roles. The main characters are:

• Dr. John Watson – Holmes’ loyal friend and the narrator of the story

• Sherlock Holmes – The famous detective (his fate is a central mystery)

• Professor James Moriarty – Holmes’ brilliant and dangerous rival

• Inspector Lestrade – Scotland Yard detective

• Irene Adler – The clever and enigmatic “woman” from Holmes’ past

There are also multiple supporting roles (often played by just a couple of actors), such as:

• Mrs. Hudson

• Various villains, henchmen, or disguises

• Other Londoners tied to the mystery

One of the fun elements of the play is how quickly actors switch between characters, adding to the humor and theatricality.
