THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
BY SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
ADAPTED BY STEVEN CANNY & JOHN NICHOLSON
DIRECTED BY BRENDAN BURKE
MAY 31 – JUNE 16
on The Mainstage at SHADOWLAND STAGES
Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body. The great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned, with Dr. Watson in tow. Together they unravel the mystery and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles . . .
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most celebrated Sherlock Holmes tail, er . . . tale, gets a gloriously funny makeover in this sublimely hilarious theatrical adaptation. If you liked last season’s THE 39 STEPS, then you’ll love this comic spoof that took England by storm.
