Baskerville is a Sherlock Holmes mystery.  It tells the story of Holmes and Watson as they seek to solve the case of “The Hound of the Baskervilles”.  What makes this play unique is that the cast consists of only five actors.  One plays Holmes, one plays Watson, and the others play more than 40 characters between them, shifting moments in quick succession.  The show is part comedy and part mystery, and all enjoyable.

 

This production utilized a sound design and musicscape originally created for a production in Ohio.  Requiring only minor adaptations for the new environment, the show was a huge hit.  The sound design and music for this show was designed to be immersive, featuring dark themes and powerful moments, and a theme always brought us back to Baker Street.
