The Hound of the Baskervilles – Torch Theatre

Chaos, clues, and canine capers collide in this riotously funny, fast paced adaptation by Stephen Canny and John Nicolson, arriving at the Torch Theatre this autumn. 

A mysterious death. A cursed family. A howl in the night. Get ready for a whirlwind of characters, clues, and comedic chaos as the world’s most famous detective investigates murder on the moors. Can Sherlock and his trusty companion Dr Watson unravel the Baskerville family curse and save the life of Sir Henry Baskerville before it’s too late!?

With quick changes, clever staging and a script that crackles with comedy, this West End smash-hit adaptation brings Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic tale to life with laugh-out-loud moments in a theatrical romp you won’t want to miss.

For a limited run only – you’d be barking mad to miss it!

Torch Theatre’s Award-winning Artistic Director, Chelsey Gillard, says: “What I love about this version is that it is packed-to-bursting with joy and adventure. The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the best Sherlock mysteries. This play takes everything you love about Conan Doyle’s original and stuffs in as many jokes as possible, resulting a wonderful theatrical experience like The Play That Goes Wrong or The 39 Steps.”
