Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery

Sherlock Holmes is on the case. The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one on the desolate moors of Devonshire. Is it the work of a supernatural hellhound, or a cunning murderer with a very earthly motive? To find the ingenious killer, Holmes and his trusty companion Dr Watson must brave the deadly moors before a family curse dooms its newest heir, a young Texan named Sir Henry.

From the award-winning mastermind of mayhem Ken Ludwig (Murder on the Orient Express, Lend Me a Tenor) comes a fast-paced, pulse-pounding comedy like no other. While Holmes and Watson remain the steadfast anchors of the story, a trio of endlessly versatile actors must juggle a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, elaborate disguises and deceit. Five actors play more than forty different characters.

Full of humour, horror and plenty of stage magic, Baskerville is a kooky and spooky caper that honours the classic Arthur Conan Doyle mystery while turning it on its head.
