- Arthur Conan Doyle, Clive Francis, The 625 Company
Locals The 625 Company present Clive Francis’ staging of Arthur Conan Doyle’s great Sherlock Holmes story.
“Sir Hugo Baskerville was the picture of aristocratic excess, drunkenness and debauchery until he was struck down by a demonic hound – or so the legend tells.
“Two hundred years later his descendant Sir Charles apparently meets a similar fate, dying of fright in the grounds of Baskerville Hall.
“Can Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson solve the mystery before Sir Charles’ heir comes to an equally gruesome end?
“The Hound of the Baskervilles’ macabre appeal has made it the most popular Sherlock Holmes adventure. In Clive Francis’ lively adaptation, four actors play the part of Watson, adopting the character of Holmes and others throughout the play.”
