World famous Baker Street detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Dr Watson are called upon to investigate the legend of a supernatural hound, a beast that may be stalking a young heir on the fog shrouded Devon moorland that surrounds his family estate.

The Baskerville line has been plagued by a mysterious and deadly hound for centuries. The recent death of Sir Charles Baskerville, who was found collapsed near the grounds of his manor, has rekindled suspicion and terror, and Sir Charles’s heir has received anonymous notes, warning him that his life is in danger.

Holmes and Watson are in a race against time to unravel the mystery of The Hound of the Baskervilles, before the hellhound strikes again.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the greatest stories of the 20th century and its macabre appeal has made it the most popular of the Sherlock Holmes adventures. Clive Francis’ adaptation is for five actors, who move effortlessly from character to character within a simple setting that does not impede the flow of the story. A tapestry of digital images, stark lighting and enveloping sound create the terrors and loneliness of Dartmoor, the claustrophobic tension of the gothic hall and bring to life the ghostly retributive hellhound of the family curse.

Suitable for audiences aged 11 & over

Free after-show Q&A with the company on Fri 18.

What gives this 21st- century rendition an added frisson of excitement is the incorporation of occasionally eye-popping, always inventive, never gimmicky, projection courtesy of Yorkshire-based digital specialists Imitating the Dog.
