About

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr. Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death, and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles… 3 male actors play all the characters.

"Only the most pure of purists could fail to be entertained by this very funny and inventive
take on one of the great archetypes of English literature." - British Theatre Guide

"Unfailingly hilarious." - The Guardian
