Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson hit the moors again, but this time with laughs in mind as adapted by playwright Ken Ludwig. The classic mystery novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, is reborn as a production sending nine actors sprinting through 40 roles. The result, directed by Michelle Dayton and Steve Noll, should be a love letter to live theater’s most cost-effective and best special effect: watching people transform right in front of you. Baskerville is a benefit for the Bartell, with performances at 8 p.m. June 5-6, 4 p.m. June 7, 7:30 p.m. June 11, 8 p.m. June 12, and 2 p.m. June 13.

media release: Ken Ludwig’s The Hound of the Baskervilles is a wildly entertaining, fast-paced stage adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mystery. With a small ensemble portraying dozens of characters, the production bursts with quick-change costumes, inventive staging, and nonstop comedic mayhem. As Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson race to uncover the truth behind the legendary curse of a demonic hound haunting the misty moors, audiences are treated to a thrilling blend of mystery, humor, and show-stopping theatrical fun. A clever, laugh-out-loud adventure that celebrates the joy of live theater.
