Encore Michigan

Inspired Acting Co. producing ‘Curious Case’ 4/05-4/21

Show Announcement March 28, 2024

WALLED LAKE, MI–The Inspired Acting Co., in its second season, is presenting The (Curious Case of) The Watson Intelligence here, opening April 5 and running through April 21.

A painfully funny, time-traveling adventure of love, intimacy, and technology. This time-traveling love story follows three famous (and one not-so-famous) Watsons who discover how technology shapes our human relationships and how our identities can be completely dependent on people outside ourselves.

Eliza, a genius robotics engineer is building the perfect intelligence, Watson, a super-computer that will one-day be famous for winning an episode of Jeopardy. Meanwhile, her husband Merrick, hires his IT guy, Watson, to spy on Eliza, who happens to be his ex-wife. Then, in 1889, Eliza seeks the help of famed detective, Sherlock Holmes, but only finds his trusty assistant, Watson, who agrees to take her case.

Moving back to 1876, Alexander Graham Bell’s loyal laboratory assistant, Watson, agrees to be interviewed about his experience with the inventor of the telephone.

Zipping back and forth through time and Watsons, this funny, moving, and brilliant play will leave both your head and your heart spinning.

The show runs approximately two hours plus a ten-minute intermission. This play contains strong language and adult situations. Show and ticket information can be found at the theatre’s website.
