ABOUT THE SHOW
Aquila Theatre will journey out onto the fog-shrouded moors of England with this spine-tingling tale written by the acclaimed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and adapted by James Lavender. This brand-new take on the legendary Sherlock Holmes mystery is a comedy driven and utterly suspenseful theatrical adaptation. A play within a play, Holmes and Watson return to the scene of the crime to recreate their case of The Hound of the Baskervilles, at The Dartmoor Village Theatre and Tea Rooms.
They are joined in this endeavor by the beloved Mrs. Hudson, and the self-acclaimed actor, Sir Grover Drake-Billets. The audience may need to get in on the act in this participatory night to help the legendary Sherlock Holmes and trusted companions replay and resolve the loose ends of the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, rumored to be the victim of a supernatural and savage hound. Don’t miss this unforgettable theatrical experience—where mystery, suspense, and Aquila’s trademark excellence are sure to leave you on the edge of your seat.
ABOUT AQUILA THEATER
Aquila Theatre was founded in London in 1991 by Peter Meineck with a production of Aeschylus's Agamemnon. The company later relocated to the United States, became a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit theatre company, and established itself in the New York City theater scene with productions including Iliad: Book One at Lincoln Center's Clark Studio Theater and long-running Off-Broadway runs of Comedy of Errors and Much Ado About Nothing.
Now in its 35th year, the company tours 50-60 American cities annually with reimagined classical and literary adaptations, workshops, and educational programming. It has performed for two presidential administrations at the White House (Bush and Obama), the U.S. Supreme Court, and the U.S. Congress. The New York Times has called Aquila “an extraordinarily inventive and disciplined outfit.”
Aquila is under the Executive Artistic Directorship of Desiree Sanchez Meineck, who joined the company in 2004 and has directed every Aquila production since taking over in 2012. Founder Peter Meineck remains active with the company as Public Program Director and, on this tour, as lighting designer and road technician.
