Interview: Jyuddah Jaymes on his interpretation of John Watson in SHERLOCK HOLMES

The game is afoot at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre! Sherlock Holmes, written by Joel Horwood and directed by Sean Holmes, opened earlier this month, bringing with it a new interpretation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic characters of Sherlock [Joshua James] and his companion, Dr John Watson [Jyuddah Jaymes]. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Jaymes about taking on the role of Watson. We discussed how he first got started in the world of theatre, what it is like to be putting his own spin on such an iconic character and even what it’s like to perform in an outdoor theatre!
