The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets a gloriously funny makeover:When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death, and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles...Packed full of the verbal and visual ingenuity the production offers abundant opportunities for silly comedy and slapstick, a barking spoof is all set to be a howling success!The Hound of the Baskervillesby Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, adapted by John Nicholson & Steve Canny Directed by Perry & Lois SavillTuesday 26 – Saturday 30  September 2023, 7.45pm, main stageMatinee: Saturday 30 September, 3pmCastAndrew Hall: Actor 1 - Sherlock Holmes, Jack Stapleton, Cecile Stapleton, Mr Barrymore, Mrs Barrymore and a YokelTim Iredale: Actor 2 - Dr John Watson and a YokelJacob Smith: Actor 3 - Sir Charles Baskerville, Sir Henry Baskerville, Dr Mortimer, a cabbie and two other YokelsCreative TeamDirectors: Perry and Lois SavillProduction Manager: Ian HighamStage Manager: Kate LawrenceLighting Design: Peter ReesSound Design: Simon HerdCostume Design: Helen and Edward OgilvieSet Design: Tony Bennett, Robert Hellstrand, Barney Hart Dyke & Sasha Adam-GryllsIn association with Nick Hern Books._______________________________The Putney Theatre Company at The South West End!
