Overview

The play’s afoot! Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson tackle one of their most famous cases in this murderously funny adventure, which transforms the classic Gothic thriller The Hound of the Baskervilles into a fast-paced comedy fueled by theatrical invention.

Can the intrepid sleuths unravel the twisty secrets of a family curse before it strikes again?
