Exclusive Interview: Will Johnson and Joseph G. Tobin of Avon Players’ ‘Holmes and Watson’
According to Occam’s razor, the simplest answer is most often the correct one, a phrase often repeated by the world’s greatest detective. However, it doesn’t seem like the mystery at the center of Avon Player’s Holmes and Watson is exactly simple; instead, it makes the audience question what is true and what is a lie. With three different people claiming to be Sherlock Holmes, Watson has to figure out who is really his best friend and who is lying. We recently spoke with two of the Holmeses, Will Johnson (Holmes #1) and Joseph G. Tobin (Holmes #2), about what it’s like to be a part of this production!
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Johnson and Tobin talk about what it’s like to bring different versions of an iconic character, such as Sherlock Holmes, to life! These two actors discuss how they keep the mystery alive in the show, revealing bits and pieces throughout Holmes and Watson. There’s significant psychological tension, which adds to the mystery, and Johnson and Tobin discuss how the technical aspects ratchet it up in this exciting interview!
