The Hound of the Baskervilles

by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle
adapted by Steven Canny and John Nicholson

Romsey AODS proudly presents a gloriously funny makeover of the most famous Sherlock Holmes story.

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate with a look of terror still etched on his face, Holmes and Watson are summoned from Baker Street to the wilds of Dartmoor to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles.

Packed full of verbal and visual comedy, drawing on slapstick, mime, silent movie humour and just plain silliness, this is a classic detective drama wrapped up in a big parcel of laughs and fun.

Will Holmes solve the mystery? Will Watson's moustache stop growing? Will Sir Henry ever find his trousers? For answers to all these questions and more, don't miss the hilarious Hound of the Baskervilles!

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern books.
