A madcap adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic mystery, transforming "The Hound of the Baskervilles" into an all-out comedic theatrical adventure. Full of humor, horror, and plenty of stage magic, five actors play nearly 40 roles in this caper that is equal parts comedy and adventure. Baskerville's fast-moving, pulse-pounding and murderously funny ride plays out in grand scale, proving just how far from elementary the truth can be. The world's favorite detective returns in the most famous case of his career; the gloomy and foreboding world of fog, quicksand, moors and monsters that combine to create a dizzying web of clues. Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. Watson must unravel them quickly if they hope to save the latest heir to the Baskerville fortune from a centuries-old curse.
