The Hound of the Baskervilles
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Adapted by Steven Canny and John Nicholson
An Amateur Production
By Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical
On Behalf of Nick Hern Books
Mystery, misdirection and mayhem – a fiendishly funny whodunit!
Legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty partner, Dr Watson, are called to the wilds of Devon – Sir Charles Baskerville has been found dead, the footprints of a giant hound discovered next to his body. All signs indicate he’s the victim of a mysterious family curse.
Will Holmes crack the case? Can Watson keep up? And will they catch the demonic dog?
The game is afoot (but it’s limping slightly)!
In the spirit of "The 39 Steps", "The Play that Goes Wrong" and "The Complete Works of Shakespeare Abridged" this acclaimed reinvention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous tale mixes intrigue, sharp humour and a dash of theatrical chaos in a fast-paced comedy caper that will leave you howling.
Directed by Jesse Apted
Starring: Ashley Eyles, Ryan Politis & Matt Harris
