The world’s most famous detective gets a hilarious makeover in this spectacularly theatrical comedy
A terrible murder, a terrifying family curse, a killer on the loose and a gigantic beast on the moor; this sounds like a case for Sherlock Holmes! Can the great detective and his faithful companion Dr Watson unravel the mystery surrounding Sir Charles Baskerville’s death and save the life of the last remaining Baskerville, Sir Henry, before it’s too late!?
The Hound of the Baskervilles has gripped imaginations since it first appeared in print in 1901.
