Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Is it a supernatural curse, or a brilliant killer at work? Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson must crack the mystery before the Baskerville family’s newest heir meets a grisly end.
In Ken Ludwig’s inventive, fast-paced adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic novel, the legendary detective story is transformed into a murderous, pulse-pounding comedy. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit. The twist? While Holmes and Watson anchor the story, a versatile cast of just three other actors must frantically portray over forty different characters. From Dickensian urchins to gloomy caretakers, from Texas heirs to mysterious strangers.
Equal parts adventure and comedy, Baskerville is pure theatrical delight from start to finish. Skipton Little Theatre is proud to present a production full of humour, horror, and stage magic that will have you howling with laughter. Book your tickets now for 15th to 19th June 2027 and join the fun to see just how far from elementary the truth can be.
