From the award-winning mastermind of mayhem and author of our 2025 Season’s rollicking farce, Leading Ladies comes another hit...
The game’s afoot in this hilarious thriller! Holmes and Watson must crack the mystery of “The Hound of the Baskervilles” before a family curse dooms its newest heir. Who killed Sir Charles Baskerville? Is there any truth to the legend of a supernatural bloodthirsty hound? Embark on a thrilling adventure with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they unravel the mystery of the Baskervilles with wit, charm, and suspense. This murderously funny adventure takes us from Baker Street to the haunted moors of Devonshire with a dizzying web of clues, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters in a perfect mix of farce, slapstick and thrills. Can our heroes discover the truth in time to save the Baskerville heir? Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be!
