The Hound of The Baskervilles

Following the death of Sir Charles Baskerville in mysterious circumstances, the family doctor James Mortimer comes to seek the help of world famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty assistant Dr Watson in ensuring the safety of the last of the family line as he moves into his ancestral home on Dartmoor. Can Holmes and Watson get to the bottom of the legend of the fiendish hound that is said to haunt the Baskerville family before it is too late?


At long last, a company that does Shakespeare – and indeed theatre – the way it should be done. This is drama at its most human, that speaks to the gods.
