Baskerville @ Western Washington Center for the Arts (Port Orchard)

Get your deerstalker cap on — the play’s afoot! Comedic genius Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) transforms Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a murderously funny adventure.

When the male heirs of the Baskerville line are being killed off one by one, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse can claim its newest heir. The intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters. Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time? Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be.

Written by Ken Ludwig, based on the novel by Arthur Conan Doyle. Directed by Liam Sanchez & Trish Mulligan.
