The Devonshire legend preaches that the Baskerville family is cursed by a supernatural hound. While working on the case, Holmes and Watson meet suspicious locals ranging from an escaped convict to friendly neighbors, leaving them to wonder if such a beast as the hound is culpable for this murder. Based on the 1902 novella Ken Ludwig's Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery features 40 quirky characters played by just five actors. This thrilling show will keep you on the edge of your seat and laughing in the aisles.

The Playhouse cast includes Michael Fox, Patricia Holly, Jenner Lathrop, Kerrie Lee, and Lorenzo Sandoval. Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery is directed by John W. Viars.
