“Mr. Holmes” is a new twist on the world's most famous detective. The time is 1947. An aging Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) returns from a journey to Japan, where, in search of a rare plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare.

Now, Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees, with only the company of his housekeeper and her young son, Roger. Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement, and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love before it's too late.

“Mr. Holmes” plays at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6 and 13; and Wednesday, Aug.12.

“Trainwreck”: Since she was a little girl, it's been drilled into Amy's (Amy Schumer) head by her rascal of a dad (Colin Quinn) that monogamy isn't realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo — enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment, but in actuality, she's kind of in a rut.

When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she's writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.

“Trainwreck,” rated R, plays Friday through Tuesday, Aug. 7-11, at 7 p.m., and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 9.

The Harbor Theatre is located at 185 Townsend Avenue. For more information, call 207-633-0438 or visit www.harbortheatre.net.
