London, UK - The legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes, is back on the case in Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery by Ken Ludwig. This thrilling play is based on the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.


Ken Ludwig, the Tony Award-winning playwright, has brought a unique blend of humor and suspense to the stage in this gripping adaptation of the popular Sherlock Holmes Mystery. Set in the eerie moors of Devonshire, England, Baskerville follows Holmes and his trusty sidekick, Dr. Watson, as they attempt to unravel the mystery behind the curse of the Baskerville family. With a cast of five actors playing over 40 characters, this production promises to be a tour de force of acting and storytelling.


The upcoming production of Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery at Western Reserve Playhouse boasts a talented cast, including Zach Manthey as Sherlock Holmes. Zach has graced the WRP stage in previous productions, portraying Christian in Cyrano de Bergerac, Valère in Tartuffe, Simon in Hay Fever, and Dr. Bradman in Blithe Spirit. Richard Worswick makes his WRP debut as Dr. Watson, having performed in numerous Northeast Ohio theaters such as Weathervane Playhouse and The Cleveland Playhouse. Sullivan Ratcliff, last seen as Le Bret in Cyrano de Bergerac, returns to WRP as Actor 1, while Casey McCann, who played Carbon in Cyrano de Bergerac and Tom in Fat Pig, takes on the role of Actor 2. Actress 1, Victoria Kirgesner-Hunsicker, who previously appeared in The Weir, Blithe Spirit, Happy Hollandaise, Wit, and Emma at WRP, rounds out the cast. Together, they promise a night of thrilling sleuthing and unforgettable characters.
