Video Promo: BASKERVILLE by Austin Playhouse, to December 29, 2024

(Video promo from Austin Playhouse)

The game’s afoot! Austin Playhouse is delighted to once again present a famous Sherlockian tale, Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. This inventive adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles finds the intrepid Holmes and his loyal companion Watson battling their most notorious mystery amid foggy London streets and the foreboding moors of the English countryside. With a mythical hellhound prowling in the mists, the great detective will need every ounce of his legendary wit and deductive power to crack the case before a family curse dooms its newest heir. With a cast of 5 actors juggling more than 40 roles, Baskerville will be a fast-paced, pulse-pounding, and murderously funny ride.
