Story of the Play

The greatest of all Sherlock Holmes in an adaptation that takes literature’s most spine-chilling mystery and turns it into a play of suspense, humour and ultimate terror.


Sir Henry has become heir to the vast Baskerville fortune, a legacy that comes complete with a family curse – death at the fangs of a living horror prowling the English moor. Only Sherlock Holmes can stop the beast from striking again. While mysterious lights signal Baskerville Hall, and the hound terrifies the countryside, the sleuthing begins and suspicion falls on sinister servants,butterfly collectors, ladies in distress, and escaped convicts.


Who wrote the letter that summoned the hound? Why do its eyes emitflame? What is the significance of the prehistoric huts dotting the moor? Is Sir Henry’s romance with the lovely Kathy doomed? Is the supernatural at work?

Audiences will have a terrific time to the surprise twist. When the chills and shrieks settle down, there’s always a laugh to
relieve the rising tension.
