Get your deerstalker cap on - the play's afoot! Comedic genius Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) transforms Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a murderously funny adventure. Produced by Spencer Theatre Company, "Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery" will be presented during a limited three-day run at the Shilling Auditorium, Richland Community College, Decatur IL.
The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse dooms its newest heir. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters. Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time? Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be.
This production will also be shown October 11-13 at the Hoogland Center for the Arts in Springfield, IL. For information on this presentation, visit the Spencer Theatre Company's website at http://www.spencertheatrecompany.com.
