Synopsis
Comedic genius Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor and Fox on the Fairway) transforms Arthur
Conan Doyle’s classic “The Hound of the Baskervilles” into a murderously funny adventure!
Sherlock Holmes is on the case. The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before the family curse dooms its newest heir. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, disguises, and deceit. Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time? Full of humour, horror, and plenty of stage magic, five actors play nearly forty roles in this kooky and spooky caper that will have you howling with laughter.
“Theatrical bliss... this is a winning evening of enjoyment.” – D.C. Metro Arts
