Gweek Players The Hound of the Baskervilles

The Hound of the Baskervilles
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle adapted by Steven Canny & John Nicholson

“A wonderfully barking spoof”

In a sublimely funny adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic tale, the celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets a gloriously funny makeover. A joy for all the family.

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...

The play is packed full of verbal and visual ingenuity, riotous comedy and slapstick.
